Tramadol

Tramadol is a morphine-like pain reliever that is considered an opioid. Tramadol is not covered by the Opium Act, in contrast to the slightly heavier opiates / opioids such as morphine and methadone.

Tramadol is a strong pain reliever depending on the dose. Prescribed for severe pain, such as after injury, surgery, or from cancer. Also with nerve pain and joint pain from osteoarthritis. It is also occasionally prescribed for premature ejaculation, if other medicines do not work.
