Tramadol 100mg – Immediate-Release Opioid Pain Reliever | Fast-Acting Relief
Tramadol 100mg is a centrally acting synthetic opioid analgesic, used to relieve moderate to moderately severe pain. This immediate-release (IR) formulation provides fast-acting relief, typically within 30–60 minutes after intake. It’s commonly prescribed for acute pain episodes, such as post-surgical pain, injury recovery, or breakthrough chronic pain.
Tramadol works by binding to mu-opioid receptors and inhibiting the reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin, helping block pain signals at the central nervous system level.
