Drug Study - Tramadol

Natalie Louise Librando conducted a study on the drug Tramadol. Tramadol is a centrally acting analgesic with a multimodal mechanism of action that acts on serotonergic and noradrenergic nociception while its metabolite acts on the μ-opioid receptor. It is indicated for moderate to moderately severe pain and is administered intravenously or orally as needed for severe abdominal or gastric pain. Nursing responsibilities include assessing pain, monitoring for potential adverse effects like seizures, constipation, and assessing risk of addiction or abuse.
