Dr. Eric Chevlen answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine - Oncology

Unknown: The two agents have not been compared head to head in a clinical trial. Both Butrans and tramadol are effective pain relievers. There are patients who report more relief from one than the other, but it's impossible to predict which is the better agent for any individual.
