| Tramadol |
Tramadol is a centrally acting opioid analgesic. It is a non selective pure agonist at μ-, δ- and κ-opioid receptors with a higher affinity for the μ-receptor. Other mechanisms which may contribute to its analgesic effect are inhibition of neuronal reuptake of noradrenaline and enhancement of serotonin release. Tramadol has an antitussive effect. In contrast to morphine, analgesic doses of tramadol over a wide range have no respiratory depressant effect. |
