If Ultram/Tramadol works by attaching to the opiate receptors how does lortab work?
Becky
Lortab is the brand name for the combination of acetaminophen (Tylenol) and hydrocodone. Lortab is prescribed for moderate to moderately severe pain. Hydrocodone binds to the pain receptors in the brain so that the sensation of pain is reduced. Acetaminophen halts the production of prostaglandins which otherwise cause pain.Lortab is one of the brand names for Hydrocodone...Hydrocodone is a semi-synthetic opiate....so it's binding to the same pain-relieving receptors as the drugs Ultram/Tramadol (even though Ultram/Tramadol is a synthetically produced drug and it's not chemically related to opiates.)

The human brain has several different types of opiate receptors. Tramadol mainly affects the MU receptors. Lortab (hydrocodone) affects additional opiate receptors besides the MU receptors. This is why Lortab is more addictive than tramadol.www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/tramadwww.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/hydroc
