A member asked:
Side effects of tramadol - are there any, since it's not a real opiate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tramadol=Opiate: A common misconception is that tramadol is not an opiate. In fact, it is. An opiate is defined as a medication that binds to a specific type of receptor called a mu receptor;tramadol binds to this receptor. Therefore it causes typical opiate related side effects including nausea, vomiting, constipation, dizziness, sedation and respiratory depression.
