Abstract

Tramadol is a synthetic analgesic drug that has a potential risk of addiction. Due to its common illegal abuse, tramadol induced seizures are becoming more prevalent. Although these seizures are self-limited in most of the cases, however, the subsequent complications such as trauma and addiction are still the main problems. In this study, we provide a brief introduction of this important topic in Iran with emphasis on the proper medical use of this drug.
