Yes, tramadol is a powerful and potent analgesic and is used all around the world.
The recommended therapeutic dose of immediate release tramadol for pain relief is 50-100mg every 4-6 hrs, with a max. daily dose of 400 mg.
The recommended daily max for extended release is 300mg.
Accordingly, you may calculate depending on what power tablet you are using.
