Question : CAN I TAKE A HALF OR WHOLE OF A 50MG TRAMADOL FOR THE PAIN OF A TOOTH ACHE

Answered by Dr. Panagiotis Zografakis (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
half would be more appropriate

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

if the pain is severe and cannot be managed with lower potency analgesics like paracetamol (acetaminophen) then tramadol can be used. 25mg sounds more appropriate for an opioid-naive patient of your age. Opioid-naive is a patient who does not regularly use opioids like tramadol or similar drugs.

I hope it helps!
Kind Regards!
