Author: Nick Hatch, M.D.

Educational Pearls

  • Tramadol acts at multiple receptors and is a partial agonist at the mu opioid receptor, but also blocks reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine throughout the body among others.

  • One major side effect to be aware of is that it lowers the seizure threshold.
  • Useful in setting of pain control in patients with contraindications to NSAIDs who are poor opioid candidates.
  • Use with caution as it potential for abuse.
