Tramadol is an opioid-like pain reliever that helps manage moderate to moderately severe pain. Being similar to opioids, it works by affecting the brain's functioning to achieve the desired result. Doctors only recommend this medicine for short-term pain treatment, as prolonged use can be habit-forming and make you physically or mentally dependent on this medicine. Due to the possibility of abuse and addiction, this drug is a controlled substance, meaning you will need a doctor's prescription to buy Tramadol online or offline.
