What is Tramadol 50mg?
Tramadol 50mg is a synthetic opioid analgesic medication used to treat moderate to moderately severe pain. It works by binding to and activating opioid receptors in the brain, spinal cord, and other organs in the body. Tramadol can also act as an antidepressant, prolonging the action of mood-related neurotransmitters. However, both immediate-release and extended-release forms of tramadol can be highly habit-forming.
How does Tramadol 50mg work?
Tramadol 50mg works directly on opioid receptors in the central nervous system, interrupting the way nerves signal pain between the brain and the body. It belongs to a class of drugs known as sedative agonists and works by converting how your brain nerves sense pain. Tramadol is similar to substances in your brain nerves called endorphins, which bind to receptors and decrease the pain messages your body sends to your mind. Tramadol can be a fast-acting pill or an extended-release pill used to treat constant or chronic aches.
How long does Tramadol 50mg stay in the human body?
Tramadol reaches its peak concentration in the body in about two to three hours. The drug’s half-life is 6.3 hours for a single dose and around seven hours for multiple quantities. Tramadol is detectable within 120 minutes of usage during a urine test and can remain so for up to 40 hours. Hair tests can detect tramadol for up to 90 days, while saliva tests usually cannot detect it after one day. Blood tests are invasive and not commonly used because tramadol isn’t detectable in the blood for an extended period.
Side effects of Tramadol 50mg
Tramadol 50mg may cause unwanted side effects, including dizziness, headache, drowsiness, nausea and vomiting, constipation, lack of energy, and sweating. Some severe side effects can include serious breathing problems, physical dependence and withdrawal when stopping the drug, serotonin syndrome, adrenal insufficiency, and androgen deficiency. If any of these side effects occur, seek medical attention immediately. Some side effects may occur that generally do not need medical attention and may disappear during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine.
