The difference between Tramadol and Ultram ER?!


Question: The difference between Tramadol and Ultram ER!?
I've been taking Tramadol 50 mg for a while, and recently my doctor prescribed me 14 Ultram ER 300mg, and says to take only one a day!. Im wondering what are the difference between these two!? Are they the same thing but one has more mg, or are they completely different!? And which would be more effective!? Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
They are exactly the same drug but Ultram is slow release of 300mg across the day whereas 50mg of tramadol will only last you a few hours!. If you have chronic pain, an extended release like Ultram is probably better, giving you a "base"of pain relief across the day, rather than letting it build up!. By the way, Paracetamol and Tramadol(or Ultram) work well together and do not interfere with each other!.
Add- yes but with the 50mg, your pain level will go up and down (according to when you took the tablet) so if it's long term pain, I would stick with one 300mg tablet a day!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
