Chronic Use of Tramadol Sep 15, 2024 | By Christy Hunt (@christinehuntmd)Comment receiving replies
Tramadol was an over the counter drug also known as ultram until a few years ago. It is easily obtained over the counter in many countries in 50 or 100 mg tablets. The United States is the only country with very rigid rules

What country are you living in? Tramadol/Ultram was never an OTC medication in the US. I'm a nurse and I remember when it first appeared in the 90's, (Rx only) but it wasn't until the 2000's that it was classified as an opioid.
