Medical Forum / General / Pharmacy / October 2003Tramadol w/out the Acetaminophen
I was curious,can any pharmacist(or knowledgeable people)tell me whether Ultram (Tramadol w/out the acetaminophen) is a scheduled prescription?I have to really watch my tylenol intake,because my liver has seen it's better days.Oh,by the way while I am here,does any one know if OxymorphoneER(numorphan made into a oral sustained release painkiller), is any where near the release stage?I believe it's a project between Penwest and Endo. Any ways thanks in advance for any answers > I was curious,can any pharmacist(or knowledgeable > people)tell me whether Ultram [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Any ways thanks in advance for any answers In the US, tramadol is not currently classified as a control substance.

Tramadol is NOT a controlled substance. I know because my mother takes it for her arthritis pain. Last year Ultram went generic. What do you bet they decided to add some Tylenol to it and call it Ultracet just so they could get some more years of patent protection and big profits. > Last year Ultram went generic.

Maybe they will make it timed released, invent a new salt of it, or anything to extend the patent. Its Nexium Time! It does not make sense to me how the government encourages companies to add Tylenol to all the pain medication. (For instance, by making plain codeine tablets harder to prescribe than Tylenol No. 3 ) For instance, codeine by itself is a safer drug than Tylenol with Codeine. Tylenol with codeine is as addictive as plain codeine without any Tylenol. Why expose people to the drug Tylenol that is toxic at a dose of around 4 grams per day? Some of the addicts of Vicodan you hear about are taking so many tablets that it looks like the Tylenol in it would eventually kill them. It's all politics-----all politics.!!!
