Avatar f tn Since you have a fatty liver and not fibrosis or cirrhosis then your liver is still considered healthy. I see no problem with continuing with the tramadol. Maintain a heathy low fat diet so your liver doesn't continue to become fattier or even fibrotic. You should always consult you doctor reguarding medication. This only my opinion and I am in no way a medical professional.
Avatar f tn tramadol is not liver friendly....go to pub med, and type in tramdol and liver toxicity I read extensively on the topic, and came to the conclusion doctors seldom read research papers... my doc insisted the reserch was wrong so I made her do a CBC on me... then I went off the tramadol and did another cbc a week later my ALT AST was half of what it was. The research is there.
1201433 tn?1328997637 It is recommended that patients physically dependent on pain killers take their medication regularly to prevent onset of withdrawal symptoms and this is particularly relevant to tramadol because of its SSRI and SNRI properties, and, when the time comes to discontinue their tramadol, to do so gradually over a period of time that will vary according to the individual patient and dose and length of time on the drug.
Avatar f tn I am concern as to whether tramadol can cause cancer of the liver. I also have pain, (not severe, more dull and annoying than anything) in the liver area. Does anyone have even a guess as to whats going on with my body? I am currently weaning myself off so that I can conceive a child, but it will take at least another month or two. Could it just be that the tramadol irritates my stomach? I also take excedrin on a daily basis for migraines that I have suffered from for years.
Avatar n tn Metabolism of tramadol and M1 is reduced in patients with advanced cirrhosis of the liver resulting in a larger area under the serum-concentration-versus-time to curve tramadol and longer tramadol and M1 elimination half-lives (13 hrs. for tramadol and 19 hrs. for M1). In cirrhotic patients adjustment of the dosing regimen is recommended (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).
Avatar f tn It is now become painful when I lay on my sides(the right side and stomach is the worse). They are treating the paim with Tramadol and this takes the edge off, but the only way to stop completely is laying on my back and sometimes with my knees bent up. The Liver Dr states I should not be having this severe pain with the disease and they sent me to a Blood Dr whom states that he believes the Nash is the problem. But the doctors are not agreeing with one another.
1394098 tn?1385960134 If your liver is stage 3 or 4 I would be careful about taking Tramadol as it is an opiate. Ibuprofen (brand names such as Advil, Motrin, Nuprin) is a Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID). It should not be taken by someone with advance liver disease. Good luck. I hope your doctor has a diagnosis for you.
Avatar n tn I took it for years before it started bothering my liver and once I went off of it my liver functions went back to normal. I hope this helps and good luck if you or anyone you know decides to use this for pain management.
Avatar f tn Basically I only take my Metformin and pain meds on a day to day basis. I had a liver biopsy and it is relatively normal, negative for fatty liver or autoimmune hepatitis. Any thoughts or ideas? Thanks!
Avatar f tn I know that now is when the withdrawls symptoms will get worse. Does anyone know if the large quantities of tramadol damage kidneys and/or liver? Also, any advice for the next phase of withdrawl. Can tramadol withdrawls cause seizures?
Avatar f tn She was also on Carprofen and Tramadol for arthritis and Denamarin (1 pill daily). Dr took her off Tramadol as her counts went up to alp 588 & alt 1000. She weighs 80lbs. Could I give her both the Denamarin and super milk thistle pills (maybe 1) since by weight she should be on 2 pills. Dr's don't seem to like going natural as it cuts into their profits.
Avatar m tn Light microscopy revealed severe centrolobular congestion and focal necrosis in the liver of morphine and tramadol groups, but perivenular necrosis was present only in the morphine group. The main histopathologic finding was vacuolization in tubular cells in morphine and tramadol groups. Our findings pointed out the risk of increased lipid peroxidation, hepatic and renal damage due to long term use of opioids, especially morphine.
Avatar f tn I currently have been abusing tram for 3 yr.s now within the past few days while running low on a fill i freaked outthinking i may have to withdrawl and made an appt. with an md on the subxone site with there md. locator md. was willing to treat me so my appt. is in a few days so i guess i'll see who this program will work out. check out subxone. com and find and md. if serious it took quite a few calls to all the md's on the list but finally got an appt.
Avatar n tn i have blood work done every 3 mths and it has always been normal. i am worried that the tramadol and ibuprofen could damage my liver. i only take 7.5-750mg vicodin. wouldnt it be better to just take the vicodin again?
Avatar f tn You can google side effects of Tramadol but I'll tell you that just about every drug affects the liver and kidneys. They are our filtering system. You take way too much Tramadol every day. You might want to get some lab work done that includes a liver function and kidney function test. What kind of pain are you having every day? If you ever want to stop the Tramadol,let us know.
Avatar m tn Acetaminophen has been associated with cases of acute liver failure, at times resulting in liver transplant and death. Most of the cases of liver injury are associated with the use of acetaminophen at doses that exceed 4,000 milligrams per day, and often involve more than one acetaminophen-containing product. The risk of acute liver failure is higher in individuals with underlying liver disease and in individuals who ingest alcohol while taking acetaminophen.
Avatar m tn I have stage 3 Hep c, which is a better choice for my liver, tramadol or tylenol
Avatar m tn Welcome to the forum! I read your post and did a search for "Suboxone for tramadol addiction" and came up with alots of posts. Some say yes, some say no. I didn't read all the posts though. You may want to do a search on this and read more. But someone will be on soon that can really help. Also you can go to Suboxone.com, locate a doctor near you and ask them directly. Which ever way you choose to get clean, just get clean. And we're all here to help you.
Avatar f tn I also have Hepatitis-C (stage 3 cirrohsis)- this month I fell again and now have a comprection fracture at L-2) My doctor still has me on Lortab 10/500 4 per day with Tramidol inbetween along with muscle relaxer. I know all this medication is killing my liver and I am single mother and just not ready to die. Please, please, tell me what pain medication would be safer for me to take. Even with the Lortab the pain is unbearable.
954920 tn?1254429338 If you do not feel like you can handle this yourself I would suggest that you talk to your doctor about it. Keep posting and talking about it it seems to help.
Avatar f tn Also, the tramadol alone can cause nausea, so even if yours didn't contain the acetaminophen, it may have just been the tramadol tha tmade you sick, not necessarily the combination of that and the tylenol. Try taking with a little bit of food - even a couple of crackers - and see if it helps.
Avatar f tn s, I have been taking cholesterol medication for about 2 months, I also take Hydrocodone 10/325 and Tramadol 50mg daily. I take 3 and 3. I was told that if my liver enzyme's were not down by my next visit on 3/23 I would no longer be able to take the Hydrocodone nor the cholesterol medication. My question is what alternatives to I have to replace the Hydrocodone10/325. Please reply with any advice or suggestions. Thank You.
1077322 tn?1266201500 I agree that Tramadol raises liver enzymes and should be closely monitored when taking this particular drug. I too take Oxycodone in small amounts to help with my pain. EMVF: Have you thought about seeing a Pain Management Specialist. They are very familiar with various pain meds that are easier on the liver like Morphine or Methadone. Both of these are "Natural" pain relievers not synthetic.
Avatar f tn s what when it comes to what is safe for people with liver disease to use. Tramadol is a fairly toxic drug anyway, meaning that it has a lot more of a chance of causing adverse reactions in people than many other types of pain meds. I really can't figure out what his rationale was in prescribing it for you.
901372 tn?1242309047 but most primary drs are anti pain med .and liver drs even more so [mine is } ,and being an ex addict ,i am glad . what they suggest is pretty much all you get . I dont judge anybodys amount of pain ,because some are " legit " . you may be suffering .,and frustrated [ other wise you wouldnt have taken the time to post }. also strong or stronger pain meds wont help w 75% of side affects depression , deyadration ,nausea ,hair growth . there are alot of ways to beat back pain .
Avatar m tn Have had severe back pains (old fracture) and have been prescribed Tramadol and Gabapentin. Will taking these drugs damaged the liver preventing UDT at 6 months? These drugs are not liver friendly. Geno 2b started tx 11/21/08 and was UDT @ 4 ,12 and 24 weeks (3-3.
Avatar f tn Yes stomach and intestinal issues are possible side effects. Have you consulted your doctor? What dose are you on? Do you take as prescribed?
Avatar f tn tramadol is a non-narcotic pain reliever and you can only take up to 350mg a day otherwise if you take more it is just disposed of in your liver and is wasted....tramadol covered mostly all the WD symptoms for me and i took it for about a week and a half straight and i didnt have any trouble leaving them cold turkey. now it does different from person to person on how much it takes them to get addicted but its worth a shot...
599170 tn?1300973893 Flexaril is one of the medications I take for control of dystonic spasms and that can cause liver damage as a side effect so you should call your doctor immediately and they would do a liver function test and decide what is neccessary to do from there.
