Tramadol, an opioid painkiller, will no longer be available over-the-counter in pharmacies, according to new regulations. The change aims to curb growing issues with dependency, overdose, and misuse of the drug. Tramadol has been under sanitary control since 2015, meaning it already required a special medical prescription for purchase, but accessibility remained a concern. Authorities are strengthening these controls to address the increasing risks associated with non-medical use. The move reflects a broader effort to manage opioid distribution and protect public health. This decision intends to limit easy access and promote responsible use of the medication. The new rule reinforces the necessity of a doctor’s evaluation before obtaining Tramadol.
