Is Tramadol Used For Uti

Updated

I was prescribed Tramadol Sandoz Capsules 50mg for Urinary Tract Infection. After researching the drug I am wondering if this is the correct drug as it does not appear to be an antibiotic?

No, it is not. Tramadol is actually an opioid, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

It can help with pain, but will not do anything to treat a bacterial infection.

Who prescribed it?

Weazie,

Although tramadol can cause constipation the incidence of uti's have no correlation in the literature. There are many OTC and herbal alternatives that can ease these symptoms a pharmacist or prescribing doc could best specify and recomend these preparations to you. Good luck, Kenie
