| Ultram |
|
Ultram acts
on the central nervous system and unlike codeine and its derivative medications
is a totally synthetic analgesic compound. Although Ultram's mode of
action is not completely understood, from animal tests, at least two complementary
mechanisms appear applicable: the binding of the parent Ultram compound
and its metabolite to opioid receptors and weak inhibition of reuptake of norepinephrine
and serotonin by nerves located within the central nervous system. Ultram -induced
analgesia is only partially reversed by the opiate antagonist naloxone in several
animal tests.
