A scientific explanation of the mechanism of action of Tramal Retard (Tramal Retard – delayed-release Tramadol)

Tramadol Retard contains an active ingredient called tramadol, which is an opiate receptor agonist and also affects the central nervous system by inhibiting the reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin. Thanks to this combined action, most patients experience a significant reduction in pain. The delayed-release drug is designed to break down slowly in the digestive system, gradually releasing tramadol into the bloodstream. After taking it, the active ingredient is absorbed by the liver and undergoes initial metabolism, then acts on pain receptors – including in the brainstem and spinal cord – to reduce the sensation of pain. This mechanism causes both opiate pain relief and a reduction in the transmission of pain messages through the nerves, which reduces the feeling of discomfort for a prolonged period of time.

How to use correctly?

To get the most out of Tramal Retard (Tramal Retard – Tramadol delayed release), we recommend adhering to the following dosage and administration guidelines:

• Starting dose for adults: Usually 50–100 mg twice a day, but should be adjusted precisely according to the doctor's instructions. In some cases, doctors may suggest a gradual increase in dose to prevent side effects. ⚠️ If you come across instructions on Etnat dosage for adults, it is important to make sure that you do not mix instructions from different medications. Always follow the instructions of your doctor.
• Recommended times: It is generally recommended to take the medication in the morning and evening, approximately 12 hours apart, to maintain a stable level of active ingredient in the blood.
• Taking with or without food: Can be taken with a glass of water, with or without food. Some patients prefer to take it with a light meal to reduce the chance of stomach discomfort.
• Maximum recommended dosage: Up to 400 mg per day (according to the guidelines of the Ministry of Health and the attending physician). It is very important not to exceed this dosage unless you have received clear medical information permitting it.
