Generic Ultram Overview. Tramadol is the generic name for Ultram. That means that the brand name from the first manufacturer of tramadol was Ultram and it was made and marketed by Ortho McNeil, now Janssen Pharmaceuticals. The branded version of Ultram became available as a generic in 2002.
Since March 1995, tramadol has been available as a non-controlled and centrally acting opioid analgesic under the trade name ULTRAM[supreg] approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States. Subsequently, the FDA approved generic, combination, and extended release products of tramadol. Because of its chemical structure, 2-((dimethylamino)methyl)-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)cyclohexanol can exist as different isomeric forms. Thus, various prefixes can be associated with the name.
