Taking Conzip, Voltarian, Tremadol Daily. Is It Safe?
Hi I am a 53 year old female. I have 100mg conzip which is once daly I do take one voltarian 100mg once daily because it is not a narcotic and I have 50mg of tremadol that I can take twice a day. I olny take 1 every other day at bedtime unless I have to walkextra that day. I had back surgery in april. I try not totake the conzip or tremadol because I dont want to get addicted. My question is how much or how little is safe. Am I being over cautious and staying in extra pain for nothing.
Both diclofenac (voltarian) and Tramadol (conzip is also tramadol)) is not usually prescribed for long-term use due to the undesirable effects .
Comparatively diclofenace has more side effects that are usually life threatening like heart, renal and hepatic diseases.
Tramadol works well in the short term eg: post-operative pain but there is no evidence for long- term benefits and mean time the drug will not be effective in prolonged use (called tolerance to the drug) and as you said it definitely has some addiction (physical dependence) potential.
Now a days there are lots of pain clinics in cities and pain physicians are doing excellent work. I suggest you to go for a pain physician for treatment rather than prolonged use of these drugs.
Thank you for your consultation in health care magic.
