Currently the Food and Drugs Authority is on a campaign to crack down on both the unapproved importation of Tramadol and unprescribed use.

YEN.com.gh reported some prostitutes as having revealed that the drug helps them to forget about every pain and trauma that they are sometimes compelled to endure to have sex with their customers just because they need money badly.

One sex worker for instance is quoted as saying: “Sometimes the kind of guy you have is a ‘not not’ but because of money you can’t talk. I use Tramadol to help to do it without feeling bad.”

Another prostitute said: “For me I always take one every time before I meet my customer. It makes me wild. You can’t cheat me.”

Apparently, revealing how they are able to withstand the numerous men they have sex with on a daily basis, the sex workers said: “We all take this drug, it opens our eyes.”
