Chronic Pain Help – Tramadol Extended-Release Approved by FDA

A recent article on www.emaxhealth.com noted that the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has approved an extended-release version of the chronic pain medication, Ryzolt (sold under the name of “Tramadol”). Though Tramadol has previously been available, this simplified dosage is new. Unfortunately, chronic pain is something we see all too often in PA workers’ compensation cases.

This drug is used for managing moderate to moderately severe chronic pain. The extended-release form of the drug should allow patients to better control their pain over the course of the day. With both immediate-acting, and extended-release, parts, Tramadol hopes to provide better relief to chronic pain sufferers.

The article notes that chronic pain impacts approximately 75 million people in the United States, “more than diabetes, heart disease and cancer combined.”
