Tramadol is a strong painkiller from a group of medicines called opiates, or narcotics. It's used to treat moderate to severe pain, for example after an operation or a serious injury. If you have long term pain, your doctor may also prescribe it if weaker painkillers no longer work.
Tramadol works directly on opioid receptors in the central nervous system and reduces feelings of pain by interrupting the way nerves signal pain between the brain and the body.
The dosage of this medicine can vary based on individual needs and the condition being treated, so it's essential to follow your doctor’s instructions or the label directions. For chronic pain, adults typically start with 100 milligrams of extended-release capsules or tablets once daily. Your doctor may adjust this dose as needed, but it generally should not exceed 300 milligrams per day. For children aged 12 and older, the dosage must be determined by a doctor, while it is not recommended for children under 12 years old. For moderate to severe pain, adults usually begin with 25 milligrams of the oral solution or tablets per day. This dose may be increased by your doctor, but it should not exceed 400 milligrams per day. Older adults over 75 years of age start with 25 milligrams per day, with possible dose adjustments, not exceeding 300 milligrams per day. Children 12 years and older should have their dosage determined by a doctor, and the medication is not recommended for children under 12 years. Always consult your healthcare provider for any changes in dosage or if you have questions about using the medication.
