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.)

I know of other meds that my DR has give me to EASE off of other meds.. Plz just ask your DR TO HELP YOU- DO not TRY AND DO IT YOURSELF.

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

Is tramadol ok to take for non medical purposes?

like i have some pain in my ankle and i have not been prescribed and i want to know if i will be ok taking some

Well it's best not to take it if it hasn't been prescribed for you and especially if you haven't taken it before. Although it's a pain relief medicine it can cause side effects therefore it is better if your doctor is aware that you have taken it, just in case you do have a reaction to it.If you have just mild ankle pain, try taking an anti-inflammatory (provided you are not already taking anything that would interact with an anti-inflammatory or you have any existing medicial conditions, which are aggravated by anti-inflammatories) such as ibuprofen, which you can get over the counter.

i dont condone non perscribed use, but its should be ok for your moderate pain. i used to take a couple 30mg pills a day and they would help my pain.
