What is Arthritis (Joint inflammation)?
Arthritis or Joint Inflammation is irritation of bone joints (connection point of two bones) that cause aching in joints, bulging and restricts patient's movement. Generally predominant in women and elderly population, Arthritis can affect anyone and according to latest reports, there are supposedly more than 50 million Americans afflicted by this condition.
What actually happens in Arthritis?
Arthritis basically affects the cartilage present between two bones. Cartilage is the tissue present between all bone joints that helps bone movement. Cartilage also acts as shock absorbent between bones when the body is involved in functions that put pressure on it. Lack or reduction of normal amount of cartilage causes grinding of bones, which leads to aching, swelling and stiffness of joints.
What are the causes and symptoms of Arthritis?
Arthritis can be caused by a number of reasons like breaking of bone; Abrasion of joint due to age or sustained pressure, Bacterial/Viral Infection or even by Autoimmunity wherein the body's internal self defense mechanism thinks that the body part (cartilage) is an external invading body and starts attacking it.
Symptoms are similar to many other afflictions so a Physician would be the best authority on deciding if someone has Arthritis. Yet general symptoms are: aching joints, bulging of joints, inability of joint movement, skin reddening near joint, rigidity of joints (esp. in early part of the day) and feeling of warmth around joints. For in-depth examination, Physician may suggest X-ray, blood tests, joint fluid test etc to confirm the kind and severity of the Arthritis.
What are the various Arthritis treatments?
Some Arthritic conditions can be completely cured by medication but for others, containment is the only option for bringing in normalcy to patient's lifestyle. Physician will prescribe medication based on the type of Arthritis, severity of condition, age of patient and patient's lifestyle and occupation. Medication is generally accompanied by exercise and dietary/lifestyle advice.
How Ultracet (Tramadol + Acetaminophen) helps in Arthritis?
Traditionally (even today) many Physicians still prescribe NSAIDs and COX-2 inhibitors. These drugs are known to have quite severe side effects, esp. NSAIDs, which can induce organ toxicity in kidney, stomach and more recently discovered in heart and cardiovascular system as well.
Lately there has been a shift towards using Tramadol, which has relatively minor side effects and is being prescribed as Ultracet (Tramadol + Acetaminophen) for using against majority of Arthritis types. Tramadol has been used for 30+ years and has been properly assessed for long-term effects. Due to its low side effect profile, it is especially useful in treatment of elderly as they are highly susceptible to this affliction and need drugs that have minimal interactions.
What is the normal Ultracet Dosage?
Ultracet is a prescription only medication with a dosage of 2 tablets every 4 6 hours. Generally dosage doesn't exceed more than 8 tablets per day. For aged patients or for users with creatinine lesser than 30 mL/min, the dosage does not exceed 2 tablets within 12 hours.
Users should not purchase ultracet without discussing Ultracet benefits and risks with doctor. Ultracet could cause severe side effects. Possible side effect could be convulsions, delirium, anxiety, irregular heartbeat, nausea etc. Weakness, drowsiness, stomachache are also possible Ultracet side effects.
