Abuse Potential

Rybix ODT has a significant potential for both psychological and physical dependence and abuse, similar to morphine. Initially, tramadol (the active ingredient in Rybix ODT) was marketed as a pain medication with very little potential for abuse.

However, healthcare providers quickly recognized that many of their patients had become addicted to tramadol. Now, the prescribing information for tramadol medications (including Rybix ODT) contains numerous different warnings about the potential for abuse.
