What Are The Side Effects And Benefits Of Ultram?
Hi, I am currently taking Mobic, for joint and arthiritis pain, and seem to be doing well on it. I got a letter from my insurance company that I should check other options. My doctor told me to investigate Ultram and Norco. I looked at Norco, but I don t believe that is a medication that I wish to try because of all the contra-indications. Can you give me basic information on what Ultram is, side affects, and so forth?

Hello,
Ultram is used to treat pain like which is due to cancers or which cannot be managed by NSAIDS like Diclofenac.
It is also useful in ulcer patients as it has no effect on stomach mucosa.
However, it can cause other issues like drowsiness, constipation and nausea. However, overall as an iPod analgesic Ultram is considered to be safest.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
