Most people believe that Ultracet was just a gimmick to put on the market a "new" form of tramadol by the parent company to extend the patent life and thereby keep making lots of $$ on it.
People with chronic pain really should not be taking all that Tylenol as it is bad for the liver. The plain one, tramadol, is much safer for your body. Short term use of Ultracet was mostly to target dental and postsurgical pain of short duration, and acute headache.
Other drugs have done this too. Darvon was the most obvious.
It went from Darvon to Darvon compound to Darvocet over a 30 yr period!
