TRAMADOL 100 mg/2 mL, solution for injection

500.00 G

The tramadol injection is a powerful opioid pain reliever used to treat moderate to severe pain, including post-surgical pain. It is given by intravenous (IV) or intramuscular (IM) injection and acts on the central nervous system. Tramadol relieves pain by acting as an opioid receptor agonist and by inhibiting the reuptake of noradrenaline and serotonin. It is about 6 to 10 times less potent than morphine. Injectable tramadol requires a medical prescription. The dosage depends on the intensity of the pain, often 50 to 100 mg every 4 to 6 hours.
