Tramadol 50mg is a synthetic opioid analgesic medication that is used to treat moderate to moderately severe pain. It works by blocking the action of certain chemicals in the brain that send pain signals to the brain. This medication is available in generic form.

Tramadol may be prescribed by your doctor if you have chronic pain due to injuries or other conditions such as arthritis, cancer or fibromyalgia. If you have moderate to severe pain that does not respond to other medications and causes problems with sleep or mood, then tramadol may be prescribed by your doctor. Your doctor will prescribe this medication only if it is absolutely necessary for you to feel better quickly or if it helps you cope with your symptoms better than other medication would.
