A member asked:

My relative gave my wife 2 pills of tramadol because she is going through a bad muscle spasm. after 8hrs and it didn't help. i have a few pills of 10mg of oxycodone. is it safe being that tramadol has a 6hr halflife?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No, no, and no.: When people ask whether or not they should give various left-over narcotic pain meds or other opiate-related meds to another person to stop pain symptoms, the answer is no, no, and no. Emphasized because of the current opiate addiction crisis. The cure is to find and resolve the cause of the pain, not to use friends' and relatives' left-over narcotics. She can see her primary care doctor for exam.
