A member asked:
Is tramadol a weaker pain reliever than morphine? and is tramadol a narcotic-like drug?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Tramadol: Tramadol is weaker. It is not a narcotic -the implication of this word is illegality. It does have an opioid effect like morphine but its a small effect. Its main mechanism of action is through serotonin pathways.
