What is the difference between tramadol and co codamol apart from the obvious ?

Dovie

I was on co-codamol, 30mg + 500, I used to take 4 each night to help with my back pain, the doctor has now given me tramadol 50mg, I must take 2 each night, how is it different from codene and is it better or not.

Not.I live in Iceland, although I'm a resident of the States. All we can get is Tramadol (called Tramol here). It bites.I suggest calling your doctor at about 2 a.m., then 3, then 4, to inform him/her that it's just not doing it for you... keep this up. Oh what I would do for good drugs. I've just got fish. Lots and lots of fish...

Does tramadol work better if taken with grapefruit juice?

Gerri

I am currently taking tramadol and i was told that the effects of tramadol are increased if you drink grapefruit juice. Has anyone heard that. And by the way,once and for all is tramadol an opiate or not.



Guadalupe

Tramadol is not affected with grapefruit juice. Only some medications like blood pressure meds like verapamil can intensify by Grapefruit juice. Tramadol is not an opiate analgesic but does have some narcotic effects. Nothing in it is related to anything opium derived. If you wanna compare it, its like tylenol. Synthetic. Not made out of tree bark like ibuprofen.Hope this helps!Best Answer If you liked it! :)

Does anyone have the knowledge of using tramadol or piroxicam for their dogs? is it safe to use? side effects?

Vicki

tramadol can be used in dogs it is a useful drug especially for treating bone cancers and certain conditions in dogs arthritis chronic pain,and after surgery,piroxicam is not licensed for use in animals its for human use only in dogs it causes severe stomach problems and after trials will not be licensed for use in animals



Brynn

Please contact a vet before starting any type of medication for your dog to get the proper dosage as well as to make sure that the dog is healthy and able to metabolize the drugs properly without any effects. Good luck

What are you using it for? Tramadol is used by the weight, and should be prescription only. We had it for our Maltese after her surgery. It can depress their respiration and cause severe respiratory depression if you give too much. You have to be very careful with the doseage. The dose they gave our dog to begin with was the correct dose for her weight but she went out like a light and was out for a long time. When they sent us home they told us we could give it to her every 8 hours as needed, and we gave her about 1/2 the dosage they recommended because it was too strong and we couldn't get her to wake up to eat. If it wasn't prescribed for the dog you are asking for, don't use it. It is for pain. It is not for people with liver or kidney disease, but it was given to us for our dog with liver disease, so I guess since it was short term it was okay. It must not process out of the liver easily and humans would overdose on it perhaps. She only needed a few doses over the first few days, maybe 4 or 5 doses total, and seems to have been okay with it, but I wouldn't use it unless prescribed and needed for extreme pain. (our dog had surgery and her whole belly had been cut open.

I would use the NSAID first before trying tramadol. It is supposed to be non-narcotic, but it is related to morphine. What is the problem with your dog?
