Tramadol HCl is a medication developed in the 1970s by the German pharmaceutical firm Grunenthal GmbH, and is used for treating severe chronic pain. In particular, it is most often used to relieve neuralgia pain, which is pain onset by a change in neurological function.

It is very important to take Tramadol exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Your prescribing doctor may recommend increasing your dosage by 25 mg every 3 days in order to maximize your tolerability of Tramadol. After achieving the correct dosage, 50 mg to 100 mg of Tramadol can be taken every 4 to 6 hours as needed for relief of pain. Never exceed 400 mg/day. For those patients that are elderly, the total intake of Tramadol should not exceed 300 mg/day.

If you miss a dose, take the missed dose ASAP. Do not take extra medication to make up for a forgotten dose. Seek immediate medical attention if you have taken too many pills; a Tramadol overdose can be fatal. It might also lower the threshold for seizures, especially in those people taking SSRIs, tricyclic antidepressants, or in people with epilepsy. In normal doses, Tramadol will not create significant respiratory depression, however an overdose can lead to respiratory failure. Be sure to discuss any possibleside-effects you may be experiencing with your physician.

Tramadol HCl is available in a variety of forms, such as tablets, chewables, extended release, or capsules, and is also marketed under the names Tramal, Ultram or Ultram ER. It works by binding to certain receptors in the central nervous system to limit the transmission of pain signals to the brain. There are some side-effects that can be associated with taking Tramadol HCl. The most common side-effects are sweating, nausea, vomiting, and constipation.

Tramadol HCl can also be habit-forming. However, researchers have found that it is less prone to abuse compared to other pain-relief medications. It is critical to talk with your physician before you stop taking the medication to avoid withdrawal symptoms. Those who stop taking Tramadol too quickly report uncontrollable nervous tremors or insomnia.

Tramadol can be purchased over the internet, even without a script in some cases. Online purchases are often cheaper and more convenient than obtaining the pills at your local pharmacy. When purchasing online, the cost is lowered by purchasing a larger amount, such as a 90-day supply. Online distributors also have lower overhead costs, so they can pass the savings onto you. Online pharmacies typically deliver Tramadol within 2 to 3 weeks of order. Faster service, such as next-day air, is available though some companies for an additional fee.
