Public Health Statement on Tramadol Misuse

We would like to inform the general public, especially our youths, that the misuse of tramadol is harmful to your health.
Tramadol is a strong painkiller that should only be used with a prescription from a qualified health professional.

Using tramadol without medical guidance can lead to addiction, serious side effects, mental health problems, seizures, and even death.
Some young people wrongly believe it increases energy and strength, but in reality it damages the body and affects the future of our youth.

We therefore urge the public and all young people to avoid using tramadol and any other drugs without medical advice for the sake of your health and wellbeing.

Let us protect our lives and build a healthy community.

Thank you.
