Tramadol attaches itself to the pain receptors, thereby blocking the neural
pathway. This makes the pain signal to be blocked and hence the discomfort
of the person eases. In simple terms Tramadol
changes the way the body senses the pain. However the level of
chemicals like Norepinephrine and Serotonin are kept the same. Various pain
meds are suited for different classes of pain. Tramadol is mostly suited
for moderate to severe pain. It is a slightly stronger pain med than other
pain meds out in the market. This is proven by the fact that Tramadol is
compared to other drugs like Morphine or Codeine. In fact, Tramadol is
considered to be more potent than Codeine. Morphine is used in
post-operative conditions. In the recent times, Tramadol is also being
used as a pain relief drug in such situations. Tramadol is now even
preferred more because it does not induce respiratory distress in the
patients who take it.
