Tramadol and oxycodone are opioid medications used for pain relief, but they differ in potency and risk of addiction.

Tramadol acts as a prodrug, requiring conversion in the body to provide pain relief, while oxycodone directly causes pain relief. Both medications have side effects and safety risks, including the potential for abuse, overdose, and respiratory depression. The FDA has issued warnings for both drugs. It is important to use these medications under the guidance of a healthcare provider and be aware of the potential risks involved.
