Tramadol (Pain Relief)
Tramadol is a synthetic, centrally-acting analgesic used parenterally and orally for the treatment of moderate to severe pain. While tramadol was not granted marketing consent in New Zealand until 1997, and it is not currently listed in the Pharmaceutical Schedule, experience in other countries dates back more than 20 years. In 1998, tramadol became the most used centrally-acting analgesic worldwide; outselling morphine in dollars turned over.1 The success of tramadol is mainly a result of its favourable side effect profile, which differs significantly from that of other options.
