Tramal Capsules 50mg (Tramadol)
Tramal is a premium brand of Tramadol Hydrochloride, a centrally acting synthetic opioid analgesic. It is manufactured by Grünenthal and is widely used in Nigeria for the management of moderate to moderately severe pain.
What is Tramal 50mg used for?
Tramal 50mg capsules are primarily indicated for the treatment of pain that is not relieved by standard over-the-counter painkillers. Common "Tramal capsule uses" include:
- Post-operative pain: Managing discomfort after surgery.
- Severe injuries: Relief from pain caused by fractures or significant trauma.
- Chronic pain: Ongoing pain management under medical supervision.
- Moderate to severe back pain.
How Tramal Works
Unlike common analgesics, Tramal has a dual mechanism of action. It binds to specific opioid receptors in the brain and also inhibits the reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin. This changes how your body feels and responds to pain, providing effective relief.

Always follow your doctor's instructions.
- The standard dose is 1 or 2 capsules (50mg to 100mg) every 4 to 6 hours.
