Question about 6 years ago

How does Ultram work?

Dr. Kishan Barnwal MBBS , General Physician

Ultram contains tramadol which is an opioid analgesic (pain-killer). It is presumed that tramadol provides relief from pain by binding to certain receptors (mu-opioid receptors) in our brain and by preventing the reuptake of chemical messengers (neurotransmitters) serotonin and norepinephrine. In this way Ultram provides relief to the patient from moderate to severe pain.

Question over 5 years ago

Can Ultram be used for toothache?

ravi udawat MBBS , General Physician

Yes, Ultram can be used to provide relief from a toothache (dental pain) because it contains tramadol which is a pain-killer. It is only used if other pain-killer medications such as NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) cannot be given due to some complications.
