Tramadol

For certain types of severe or chronic pain, a doctor may prescribe a course of opioid painkillers, such as Tramadol. This particular medicine has been used to treat severe post-operative pain, as well as pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia.

Tramadol works by temporarily inhibiting the way the brain receives and translates pain signals. It does this by joining with opioid receptors, which are located in the brain and central nervous system. The less aware the brain is of pain signals being sent to it from an inflamed or injured part of the body, the less pain is experienced by the sufferer.

You can buy Tramadol online in the UK from registered pharmacies. However, it does require prior consultation with a doctor, as it carries a higher risk of causing side effects in some than other medications.

There are numerous brands of this drug available on the market, depending on the condition it is being used to treat. Those who are suffering from persistent pain may be advised by a doctor to take modified release tablets, by Zamadol which distribute their dose over a prolonged period, providing lasting relief from pain. It is also available in ‘drop’ form, for those who may find swallowing whole tablets difficult due to their symptoms.
