Tramadol Injection is also called “TRAMVO” which is used to manage moderate to severe pain. Suffering is a discomfort that people experience when they are injured or sick. Pain may be acute or chronic which determines its duration. Low back pain can also be classified as general where the pain is felt throughout the body or it is localized at the lower back.
Tramadol Injection has an active ingredient known as Tramadol that inhibits the painful stimuli in the brain and spinal cord through endorphin mimicking.
