Tramadol blocks pain signals in the brain and spares more endorphins to alleviate pain, making it milder but less potent compared to opioids like morphine.
Tramadol acts on opioid receptors and inhibits serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake, offering dual mechanism pain relief, generally considered less addictive than other opioids.
