Hi
Cannot tell from the packet for sure it is tramadol as different companies produce with different trade name.
Tramadol is not the treatement of choice for your back pain.
You should get x ray done and then based on it treatement should be started.
Tramadol does not cause much side effects.
But at the same time you cannot take pain killers for life long.
Get well soon.
Thank you.
