  • Tramadol

    i have been prescribed 50-100 mg of tramadol for pancreatic pain. I read about the possible of being a rapid metabolizer which is why there was an increased warning associated with this medication. I have taken codeine cough medication a few months ago without realizing that codeine also fell into this category. My twins were 3-4 months at that time and we experienced no adverse reactions while I was using the cough medication. My questions is, if they were fine when I was taking the cough med, does that mean we are t rapid metabolizers? I'm concerned about using the tramadol because of the increased warning. How long would I "pump and dump" if I took a dose of the tramadol if I needed to? Does it lessen the amount of medication they would get if I mixed 1-2 ounces of of breastmilk with 4 ounces of previously frozen milk or formula?

    Alathomas14:

    More or less you are correct. Rapid metabolizers are rather uncommon. If you have an exaggerated response to Codeine, you might as well to Tramadol. Unlikely in your case.
