Tramadol 50mg Online 

Tramadol is a novel analgesic having both opiate agonist activity and monoamine reuptake inhibition that contribute to its analgesic efficacy. Opioid activity is due to both the parent compound and the more active O-desmethylated metabolite. Tramadol acts on the monoamine reuptake systems by inhibiting the reuptake into nerve terminals of both norepinephrine and serotonin. Apart from analgesia, tramadol may produce a number of      symptoms including dizziness, somnolence, nausea, and constipation similar to other opioids. High doses of tramadol, often in combination monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors or serotonin-selective reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), have been associated with a serotonin syndrome consisting of convulsions, hyperthermia, muscle rigidity and pain.
Tramadol is well absorbed orally. It can be administered in 50 to 100 mg tablets as needed for pain relief every 4 to 6 hours, not to exceed 400 mg/day. Seizures have occurred in patients taking recommended doses but are more likely at high doses associated with abuse of this medication. Tolerance, dependence and addiction to tramadol have been demonstrated. Abrupt cessation from tramadol has been associated with two types of withdrawal syndromes. One is typical of opioid drugs with flu-like symptoms, restlessness and drug craving. This type of withdrawal syndrome is encountered in about 90 percent of cases of withdrawal from tramadol. Another withdrawal syndrome (encountered in about 10 percent of cases of tramadol withdrawal) is atypical of opioids and is associated with hallucinations, paranoia, extreme anxiety, panic attacks, confusion, and numbness and tingling in the extremities.Tramadol was approved for marketing as a noncontrolled analgesic in 1995 under the trade name of Ultram®. Although the company initially claimed that this substance produced only very weak narcotic effects, recent data demonstrate that opioid activity is the overriding contributor to the drug’s pharmacological activity. Because of inadequate product labeling and lack of established abuse potential, many physicians felt this drug was safe to prescribe to recovering narcotic addicts and to known narcotic abusers. As a consequence, numerous reports of abuse and dependence have been received.
