<strong>the</strong> leading search engine Google for <strong>the</strong> 3<br />

search terms:<br />

– Tramal (registered trademark)<br />

– Tramadol<br />

– Tramadol rezeptfrei (no need for a valid<br />

prescription)<br />

• 150 websites<br />

• No focus on Tilidine due to <strong>the</strong> combination<br />
