Effects of tramadol
Tramadol, a centrally acting analgesic, is used to treat moderate to (moderately) severe pain. Racemic tramadol provides similar analgesia as (+)-tramadol but is better tolerated than the (+)-enantiomer. In addition, the (-)-enantiomer is less effective as an analgesic. Therefore, the racemic mixture of tramadol is superior to either enantiomer alone in the treatment of pain. As an analgesic, tramadol is approximately equipotent as codeine and has about 10% of the potency of morphine after parenteral administration. Because tramadol has a higher oral bioavailability than morphine, the relative potency of oral tramadol should be about 20% of that of oral morphine
