Tramadol Hydrochloride is classified as an opiate (narcotic) analgesic. It works by reprogramming the brain and nerve system to perceive pain signals differently. Tramadol 100 mg is a generic drug that is convenient for the majority of people to take because it is far less expensive than other brand-name painkillers on the market.
Tramadol tablets are typically available in two forms: immediate-release (IR) tablets and extended-release (ER) tablets. Both of these variants work differently depending on the nature and severity of the pain. The immediate-release tablets are taken as needed for immediate pain relief and are often used in moderate pain. For around-the-clock pain management, extended-release pills are advised.
