NEWSBRIEF: If you take Ultram ER for round-the-clock fibromyalgia pain treatment, you’ll soon have a generic option of the same drug.
Par Pharmaceuticals says the FDA has approved its extended-release tramadol product, in both 100 mg and 200 mg dosages. The company says it plans to start shipping the drug right away.
If you’re interested in switching to the new generic drug, which will likely be much less expensive, you’ll need to talk to your doctor. Tramadol is not specifically approved for fibromyalgia pain but it is sometimes prescribed off-label for fibromyalgia.
