Cancer pain in shoulder
Which medicine is better? Tapentadol 50mg or tramadol 50mg? Can you take both in a day? My father had one tapentadol at 8.30 and tramadol at 10. Is it dangerous?

Dear lady
You first need to understand that your father is having pain. Please tell me how long, where is the pain, aggrevating and relieving factors
We need to get to the reason for the pain.
Taking these medicines will give you pain relief, but they might have their own side-effects
If your father's pain can be cured completely why just suppress the pain.
Please consult your doctor.
I would not recommend you taking either of these medicines without proper medical guidance
Next Steps
meet a doctor, your family doctor if you have one.
