Tramadol 50mg Capsules

Question

I'm having problems swallowing my Tramadol 50mg capsules (x2) and wondered if I can open the capsules and take the power orally with water?

I know you absolutely cannot do this with the slow release version of the tablets and these are a normal dose capsule.

Anyone?

Answer 1

Yes you can.  Just make sure don't have the extended release.  

Ultram is available in tablets which I find easier to swallow, capsules can get sticky.
