MY DOSAGE IS 4X DAILY AND I VE HAD NONE TODAY AND HAVE 2 PILLS LEFT. IS IT O.K. TO SUBSTITUTE TRAMADOL HCL 50 MG TAB CARA FOR THE HYDROCONAN?

Hi,
Yes. Tramadol is a potent pain-killer and likely to help your pain. You can use it when your current medication runs out. Ensure you take it according to the manufacturer's recommended dosage.
