How Can severe Osteoarthritis Be Treated?

I have a medicine that has the code on it - A221. I know it s for pain relieve, slow release. I d like t know the name of it for my doctor. I haven t taken it for quite awhile but my osteoarthritis is becoming more painful the older I get and this drug was very helpful when I was first given it.

Hi, the code is for Tramadol. It is a narcotic pain reliever, and is available only on prescription.
I recommend consulting your doctor as Tramadol self medication is not recommended due to its narcotic properties.

Hope this answers your question. Thank you.
