Brief Answer:
There is no oTC equivalent of tramadol!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

There is no OTC equivalent of Tramadol. It is a controlled substance and can only be obtained through your doctors' prescription. It is a more powerful pain medication compared to Paracetamol (acetaminophen). Paracetamol is level 1 pain medication used for treating very mild pain while tramadol is level 2 in terms of potency and is used to treat moderate pain.

I hope this addresses your question fully. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
