Specializes in Pain Management

Tramadol/codeine: These are two different molecules. While there are fancy tables equating doses - there have never been any comparative studies actually studying the equivalent dosing amounts. Both help with pain and certainly one cannot equate how much tramadol equals 500mg Codeine.
