Is Tramadol The Composition In Citra 50?

default
Posted on Tue, 9 Dec 2014
Question: I am in between pain docs in the US-- the one I was with moved out of town quickly for family reasons, and I still need to find another one. The previous pain doc had prescribed tramadol and also gabapentin. I ran out of these, so a friend from Mexico got me gabapentina (is this gabapentin?). My dosage was 600 mgs tablets, these are 300 mgs tablets. If it is truly gabapentin then I could take two capsules (?). (Manufacturer is Wermy or Wermar Pharmaceuticals) Also, she got me tramadol called Citra 50 at 50 mgs each tablet. This is what I had been taking before. Is this good enough to take (I need something for the pain) until I can get in to see a pain doc in the US?

Brief Answer:
Yes, these are Tramadol and Gabapentin.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Those preparats you describe contain Tramadol and Gabapentin in standard dosage per tablet. Trade names are different. You can have two capsules of Gabapentin ( or Gabapentina) per day. These drugs are equivalents of yours used in US. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
