Red 50mg Tramadol capsule (Relidol) IM, or EX (SR)?

[savingtess]

Just received some tramadol from starlite and on the blister pack it is called Relidol.. I know tramdol is called Relidol is other countries but what I cannot figure out if I have received the immediate release capsules or the extended release or what is also known as scheduled release in some countries. I have searched the internet but can't seem to figure it out. The capsules are red with a white powder inside (not the hard shell coated beads,) with no imprint *I requested the immediate release but here in the states only the ER are in capsule form, why the confusion..

Has anyone received these or could help me out with identifying this? 

Thanks, 

Tess

This is immediate release, very good quality IMO.

Thanks allhoney

Do you know if Is this one that you are supposed to put under your tongue and let the powder dissolve? I was reading on a COO web-site today that referred to relidol as coming in sub-lingual form.. but they don't look like that to me..

I am so relieved though to know it is the IR.. for some reason EX do nothing for me. Thx again! Tess

No this capsule is not sub-lingual.

Thanks allhoney. When I take my 1st one I will report back on how they are compared to my old scripted ones.
