Is Tramadol The Right Medicine For Arthritis Pain?
Hi, I was just prescribed tramadol for arthritis pain. I have to do urine drug and alcohol screens. Will tramadol show up, if so as what? Or do they have to do a specific test for it? I asked for non non narcotic medicine. How long before it s out of your system?

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. I understand your concerns.
I hope I have answered your query. Since tramadol is not a narcotic it is not on the routine screen done by most employers so you dont need to be worried about this. Second, this is good option for arthritis pain if nonsteroid painkillers dont help, but only this should be used as a short term to avoid side effects such as addiction or breathing depression.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
