The human body is designed to sustain great amount of pain
and stress. The lifestyle and our survival and the thriving are proof of the
durability the human body has. With our bodies we can afford to take pressure
and even push ourselves further. However there is a certain limit as to what
the body can take and with continued stress and strain on the body, the muscles
are likely to experience discomfort. This discomfort eventually results in pain
in the muscles. We often opt to take painkillers or rest as a countermeasure
the pain.
However if the pain lasts for months then it might be an
area of concern. Chronic pain or severe pain usually lasts for 3-6 months.
During this time the body goes through a period of discomfort in doing even the
smallest of tasks like brushing or driving. As such we need medication that
makes the pain go away without too much effect on the human body.
There are many medications that are developed to ease the
sensation of pain and make our lives better. Tramadol is one of them. Let us
see more in detail.
Overview
Tramadol
is a pain medication that has been developed to fight chronic pain. Chronic pain
as already stated lasts for 3-6 months and during this time the person can
experience a lot of discomfort. Tramadol is the generic version of the brand
name Ultram. It is an FDA Approved pain med that was granted approval for sale
and use in many countries including countries like USA, United Kingdom and Australia.
Tramadol is however a Schedule IV drug that has seen its
fair share of drug abuse. The DEA has classified Tramadol as such owing to its
abuse by the users. Proper care and precaution can go a long way to making our
days better and pain free. Following the doctor’s instructions and not overdosing
the medication is one of the most important factors when looking at how the
medication will impact an user.
A single pill of Tramadol is composed of:
- Tramadol Hydrochloride (active)
- Anhydrous Lactose (inactive)
- Colloidal Silicon Dioxide (inactive)
- Hypromellose (inactive)
- Magnesium Sterate (inactive)
- Microcrystalline Cellulose (inactive)
- Polyethylene Glycol (inactive)
- Polysorbate 80 (inactive)
- Sodium Starch Glycolate (inactive)
- Titanium Dioxide (inactive)
Tramadol
has an uncommon dual acting benefit. Often it acts an opiate in the expected
way to change the perception of pain. But beyond that the medication also
provides an increase of other two neurotransmitters, Norepinephrine and
Serotonin. Tramadol also helps in bringing relief from the inflammation of the
pain inflicted area. The medication should however be avoided by people with
cardiac, renal and hepatic ailments, as the strong pain medication can in fact
make the conditions worse upon contraindication with the body.
Tramadol should be taken with proper care and precaution
only after proper consultation with the medical professional. Tramadol is a
strong med, yet revolutionary in curing moderate to moderately severe pain. Let
us not make it into a substance abuse compound.
