Always double check your meds and vitamins. I take a handful of vitamins everyday, calcium and vitamin D, due to bone density loss. I also take a few prescription meds. My wife selects them and sends them to work with me. This morning there was an unfamiliar pill, white and about the size of an aspirin. I emailed her and asked what it was. She said she thought it was vitamin D. The pill was marked "AN 627" so I googled it and this is what I found:
AN 627 (Tramadol 50 mg)
Pill imprint AN 627 has been identified as Tramadol hydrochloride 50 mg.
Tramadol is used in the treatment of back pain; chronic pain; fibromyalgia; pain; anxiety (and more), and belongs to the drug class narcotic analgesics.
It must have been left over from my craniectomy but how she confused it with vitamin D is beyond me.
My ex-wife once chewed a pill thinking it was her thyroid medicine (they were sweet). It turned out it was my BP med and chewing it rushed it into her blood stream, she almost died.
As we get older it is easy to get confused so let's be careful out there.
