A member asked:
Does tramadol work if only taken once a day on average vs the twice a day that is recommended on the bottle? it's not working for me.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tramadol duration: Tramadol normally has a duration of action of between 4 - 6 hours so i would advise that you follow the directions as prescribed by your doctor and take your tramadol twice a day.
