Does Ultracet And Rablet Have Any Side Effect On Transplanted Kidney?
I am having muscle pull in the hip today morning. The Ortho Doctor has given prescription for Ultracet and Rablet. I am a kidney transplanted person for 12 years. Shall I take these medicines for pain? or will it have any side effects on my transplanted kidney?

Hi,
Both of these drugs are found to be safe in post transplant kidney patients. Ultracet (tramadol) is an opioid pain killer which is normally cleared by the liver and hence preferred for moderate to severe pain in patients on transplanted kidney. Remember its maximum dose should not exceed 50 mg orally twice a day. Rablet (rabeprazole) is a proton pump inhibitor commonly prescribed for the treatment of acidity related issues of the stomach. It is also cleared by the liver hence proven to be safe and efficient in patients on transplanted kidney.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
