How does tramadol affect the central nervous system and what are the risks of cognitive or neurological side effects?
Tramadol acts on opioid receptors and inhibits serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake in the brain, affecting pain signals. It can lead to cognitive impairments, dizziness, and seizures.
Tramadol affects the central nervous system by binding to opioid receptors and altering neurotransmitter levels, potentially causing side effects like confusion, seizures, and decreased alertness.
By altering neurotransmitter activity in the CNS, tramadol can lead to side effects such as dizziness, lethargy, and in severe cases, impaired cognition or seizures.
