What is Ultram and how does it differ from Tramadol? When a scientist discovers a drug, they give it a name. This name is usually long and doesn’t make much sense to most of us. When a drug company purchases the rights to sell a drug, they give it a much simplier name that is easier to remember. Ultram is just one of the many brand names under which the drug is sold. The generic name for the drug is Tramadol. Purchasing Tramadol rather than Ultram can save you money. Drug companies often hike up the prices of prescription drugs because they have to cover their cost for research and advertising. But, the drug companies that sell the generic version of Ultram do not have to worry about research or advertising as much, so they can reduce the cost of the drug while still giving you the same produce.
What is Ultram and how is it administered? Ultram can be taken intravenously, but usually, it comes in a tablet form. You will usually take a pill between 50 and 400 mg every four to six hours as needed. Always take the drug exactly as the prescription says. Do not increase or decrease your dosage without first consulting your doctor. Either increasing or lowering your dose may result in adverse side effects. Ultram can be taken without food, but if you experience stomach problems, take it with food or milk.
