Because it is an opioid and has potentially harmful side effects if misused, generic Tramadol is only available with a doctor’s prescription. Generic Tramadol is the name used for Ultram, Ultracet and Ryzolt.

Tramadol HCL (hydrochloride) tablets contain Tramadol Hcl 50mg tablets, which can be used to treat moderate pain. For patients that suffer more severe or chronic pain, doctors can prescribe higher doses. An extended release dose is also available for patients that need pain relief on a constant basis.
