Re: Opioids and constipation
Originally posted by Steve G View PostBNF also states that tramadol is less likely to cause constipation than opioids. However, tramadol is a bit of an odd drug - some patients love it and think its the best thing ever, others can't stand it at all. I have heard tramadol described as an emetic which has analgesic side effects.
