ULTRAM® ER (tramadol HCl) Chronic Pain Treatment

About Ultram ER

A treatment for chronic pain.

Millions of American adults are living with chronic pain (sometimes referred to as persistent pain) night and day. If you think you're one of them, ask your doctor about an ULTRAM® ER prescription.


ULTRAM® ER is an effective prescription pain medication approved by the FDA for the management of moderate to moderately severe chronic pain in adults who require around-the-clock treatment of their pain for an extended period of time.


Benefits of ULTRAM® ER:

Once-a-day convenience.

The once-daily formulation of ULTRAM® ER means you only need to take it once every 24 hours. Just take it at the same time every day.


Made with Smartcoat™.

The ULTRAM® ER extended–release tablets use a patented Smartcoat technology for convenient, once–daily dosing. With ULTRAM® ER, the patented Smartcoat technology system releases tramadol at a steady rate, which allows you to benefit from consistent drug delivery throughout your day.


Can be taken with or without food.

ULTRAM® ER can be taken on a full or empty stomach, so you can take it when it's convenient for you. It should be taken at the same time every day.


Contains a widely prescribed pain medicine.

ULTRAM® ER contains a pain medicine called tramadol, which has been prescribed for a variety of pain conditions for over 13 years in the United States.


If you have moderate chronic pain, such as back or osteoarthritis pain, that's affecting you during the day, or at night, ask your doctor if ULTRAM® ER is a good option for you.


ULTRAM® ER is a 24-hour medicine that works all day and night to treat chronic pain.


Even though it may cost more than generic medications, keep in mind:

  • Your doctor prescribed ULTRAM® ER, not a generic.
  • There is no generic tramadol substitute that offers around-the-clock treatment of chronic pain in a convenient, once-daily pill.
  • ULTRAM® ER helps to manage the chronic pain that may be affecting your
    sleep at night.
