Extended-Release Tramadol Approved for Chronic Pain
Thursday January 8, 2009
NEWSBRIEF: A drug called Ryzolt (tramadol HCI extended release tablets) is now FDA approved. Ryzolt is for around-the-clock management of chronic pain that is moderate or moderately severe.
While Ryzolt isn't specifically aimed at the fibromyalgia market, regular tramadol (Ultram) is widely prescribed (off label) for fibromyalgia pain. Ryzolt may be an option for those who take tramadol multiple times per day.
