differences in quality on tramadol
      #191091 - 10/05/04 01:56 PM

its strange how the quality can differ from one brand to another. my last order on tramadol 50 mg from pharm88 was from a new producer (yellow and white capsules with a symbol on it, instead of blue white) - and it was pretty useless - wery weak. Dont know whats doing with this, dont think they accept a chargeback or sending new medicines .. Why this big difference? bad storing of medicines?

Been there, done that, with a previously trusted OP. It seems to me that they contract with ANY pharmacy as long as the price is right (quality NOT being the deciding factor).

Sad but true.

I have tried a few differant brands, including the Ultran brand name. Honestly, Click's are the best I've had and prefer those. Also good pricing and nice guy to deal with. think manufacured by tramacap NL, they are green and yellow caps. Someone ( on a differant thread) mentioned that the reason they seem better is just because they disolve faster than tabs. I don't really care for the US generics of tramadol. Good luck!

I now know that the yellow-green "tramal" caps with a symbol on it that I was unsatisfied with is from Grünendal (or something like that)(the same as "NL" I think)

Do someone know who produces the blue-white caps?

I tried 5 Brands of tramadol. one was the yellow and green tramacap capsules, another was trexol which is a mexican brand from medsmex, 3 others from US Pharmacies. keep in mind, im a very sensitive person very aware of my subjective state and can feel tiny peices of a pill of certain drugs. the 5 brands of tramadol i tried had absolutely no difference at all that i could tell.

There has to be another factor. perhapes yours were old or stored in a hot place or i have no idea at all, but there is no difference between brands except for the amount of tramadol in them. perhapes one brand has 50.8 mg of tramadol and another brand has 50.1 mg, thats about it

Of course different foods, shampoos, cosmetics, or whatever can be of different qualities because they all are made up of a mixture of chemicals. even herbal suppliments can vary in quality because plants have different strains and also vary depending on where they grow. however a drug is single chemical, a single molecue, and i dont know how you can have one tramadol molecue that is of higher quality than another tramadol molecue. its purely a black and white, 0 and 1 thing, either its tramadol or its not tramadol. i honestly have never had a difference with any drug that i have tried more than one brand of, and theres been a handful. so this brand name thing with drugs facinates me.

I guess I'm having trouble understanding: is "Tramacap," by NL (yellow and green capsules) the same, better, or weaker than other brands?

its all good, dont worry about it. tramacap is just fine, i use them. if somehow you think its like 10% weaker or something, then so what, you get a lot more than 10% more quantity for the same price. you get way more than double for the same price so its still more tramadol.

I've used the "tramacaps" you described for a couple of years now. I think they're just as good was the generic ultram you can get here, but at a fraction of the price.

Ok sounds fair; I wish I could understand the law on the IOPs because on this site it really gets confusing; seems some say it's legal, others not. The tramacaps seem almost as effective, to me, as others I've had.
