Question : My druggist who is not open on weekends sent me TRAMdol-ACETAMINOPHN 37 5-325. I take TRAMADOL HCL/ACETAMINOPHEN TAB 37.5 mg/325 mg. Have been on this for severe shoulder pain for several years. What is the difference in these two? Should I wait for
Monday for my regular prescription?

Brief Answer:
both seems to be same combination, you can take them...

Detailed Answer:
Hello there,
Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service...
I've gone through your query in details...
I can understand your concern...

Your druggist apparently has sent you the same combination of analgesic medications only. Both of these constituents and dosage are similar. So, you can take them now.

No need to worry. However, on Monday you can again apply for your regular prescription refill.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take Care
Kind Regards
