blood thinner ## Did you mean Plavix, the antiplatelet medication that contains Clopidogrel? Since it's used to prevent clotting, it is not a straight blood thinner, which is why it's paired with Aspirin in some cases.

What does this pill look like? ## Hello, Jone! How are you? Did you mean Tramadol? If so, since this is a generic, it is manufactured by several different companies, so there are a few available. Are there any markings on the tablet in question? For example, there is one that is oval, white and has the marking 93 on one side and 58 on the other, another that is oval, white ands the marking R 714 on it, an oblong white one with the making 7171 on one side and an M on the other, then a round, white one with WATSON on one side and 466 on the other. The FDA lists this medication as being a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Has any that received a settlement from their claim been asked to send any of the money back to them? ## I have not even received any money yet, feel like I am getting the run around.... ## Even if you were asked to give any of the money back, would you? Especially after having gone through the "torment" associated with their inferior product? Not only that but I'd feel ashamed to hand back claim money to a multi-billion dollar industry who will probably use that money to create more faulty drugs that just continue the cycle of legal settlements. So in a sense, by choosing not to comply, you're essentially taking away from their power. A handful of legal claims probably won't dent their pocket books in the least bit, but the more patients loose faith in their product...
