Can Endone,panadol Osteo Ease The Pain In C5 And C6 Vertebra?
Hi I have had a vertebra fusion of c5 and c6 with a cage. Now at home recouperating and managing pain relief. My family dr has prescribed tramedo 100 twice a day and panadol osteo. However my surgeon has advised me to come off tramedo and prescribed endone plus panadol osteo. I have repeat prescriptions of Traedo but only 1 prescription of 20 for endone and am confused. The surgeon is In Adelaide and my doctor is local. I would appreciate your comments Thank you Eileen aged 75

Hello,
They are each valid medications that have some opiate effect. There is the potential for addiction with each. Endo is likely oxycodone with another drug. It has a wider range of doses; tramadol is limited by seizure risk at 300 mg a day or higher.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman
