Tramadol 100mg is a potent opioid analgesic used to treat moderate to severe pain, acting on the central nervous system to block pain signals. It is often prescribed for short-term relief, such as post-operative pain or chronic conditions like severe arthritis. Due to addiction potential and risks like respiratory depression, it should only be taken under strict medical supervision.
