Tramadol hydrochloride: an overview of current use

T A Bamigbade et al. Hosp Med. 1998 May.

Abstract

Tramadol's two enantiomers produce analgesia, in acute and chronic pain states, by combining synergistically, weak opioid and monoaminergically-mediated mechanisms. Tramadol is interesting, being free of some of the clinically significant side-effects seen with other opioids of comparable efficacy.
