Is tapentadol considered stronger than tramadol ?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, usually: tapentadol is a strong opioid (narcotic) and a has a compound that reduces the breakdown of norepinephrine, Tapentadol only binds the mu opioid receptors Tramadol has less intense opioid action than tapentadol, but it binds a broader spectrum of opioid receptors. It inhibits breakdwon of serotonin. Tapentadol is 'stronger', for most people. Some people might not respond as well to it.
