Is it okay to take gabapentin and tramadol together for pain relief?

Yes, but: Tramadol is a non opioid analgesic being given for moderate to severe pain. Gabapentin is an anti-convulsant being prescribed for neuropathic type of pain. Both medications also come in an extended release formulation. Gabapentin should be taken regularly . While the regular or immediate release tramadol can be taken when one has episodes of moderate to severe pain.

Usually fine: The Gabapentin has no appreciable drug-drug interactions, and will not affect the tramadol. This combination is usually quite safe and often very effective.
