Ultram (tramadol) is an analgesic used to treat or prevent pain.
Ultram (tramadol) is used to treat moderate and severe pain and most types of neuralgia, including trigeminal neuralgia. It has been suggested that Ultram (tramadol) could be effective for alleviating symptoms of depression and anxiety because of its action on GABAergic, noradrenergic and specifically serotonergic systems. However, health professionals have not yet endorsed its use on a large scale for disorders such as this.
