Tramadol is an opioid analgesic that works by selectively binding to opioid receptors in the central nervous system. It is considered a class IV drug by the FDA and has been scheduled as such since July 2014 due to its abuse and addiction potential. Tramadol is contraindicated in patients under 18 with a history of tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy due to risk of respiratory depression, and it should not be used in patients with a hypersensitivity to opioids. The most common side effects are nausea, dizziness, constipation, vomiting, somnolence and headache. Serious side effects include respiratory depression which can result in death. Nurses must counsel patients on proper administration and monitor for side effects
