Why Ultram?

If you suffer from moderate to severe, temporary or chronic pain, no doubt you are seeking relief. But that search can lead to a whole lot of questions. Ending with: what medication should I be using? What are the Alternatives? Traditionally, for serious pain relief, temporary or chronic, codeine and morphine have been used. But these two drugs have serious side effects and a bitter taste that is not easy for the patient to deal with. Among the side effects of morphine are: addiction, a tolerance to the drug that defeats its effectiveness, constipation, respiratory depression, drowsiness, increased danger of infection, pneumonia, tuberculosis, a weakened immune system, impairment of fine motor control, sensory abilities and memory, cognition and attention. These side effects have a stronger effect on those who do not use drugs on a regular basis. Codeine is a narcotic pain reliever, a small amount of which is changed into morphine by your body. Like morphine it binds to the opioid receptors in your brain, which affects how pain messages are sent from the nerves to the brain. Codeine will reduce, although not alleviate pain, and like morphine causes drowsiness and depression of the respiratory system. It can affect the patient’s cognitive processes and ability to perform every day activities, such as driving. The bottom line is – why take drugs like these when something better is available, something that does not have the same very serious side effects.

The Herbal Alternative

Some people fear medication, but will willingly take a "natural" cure for pain, in the form of an herb. Since all medications derive originally from herbs this may or may not be a viable alternative, but it is not one that should be chosen without knowledge. People assume because herbs are "natural" they are not harmful. However, this is not always the case. Herbs and herbal supplements also have their side effects. In addition to that, people have a tendency not to include the herbal supplements they are taking in the information they share with their doctors, and can become the victims of a negative drug interaction because of it. St. John's Wort for instance, became a popular craze/cure all for everything a few decades ago. It is recommended for depression and for muscle pain. But St. John's Wort has been known to have a negative interaction with other medications.
