Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Can Ultram Be Taken With Nucynta For Chronic Pain?
I take nucynta CR since yesterday(100mgs) for chronic pain. Before,I had ralivia 100mgs bid and ultram every 4 or 6 hers prn. I want to know if I can take ultram again 1or 2 times a day with my new pills.My doctor stopped ralivia but let me ultram.Your advice please?
Both, ralivia and ultram contain tramadol, another opioid analgesic of the same group of tapendadol.
Perhaps your doctor would have preferred to have a more potent effect of these opioid analgesic as he/she has prescribed them both. To my opinion, if I was your caring doctor, would re-vise your current treatment and set another potent analgesic instead of taking ultram with ralivia.
Hope it was of help!
