Technically, no. Morphine is an opioid, while tramadol is an "opioid like substance".
For all intents and purposes - yes. Both act on the same receptor, the opioid receptor (mu), both act as painkillers by identical means on the opioid receptor and both are prescribed as painkillers.
The difference being that morphine acts only on the opioid mu receptor (with minor affinity to the other opioid receptors) while tramadol acts on the opioid mu receptor AND as a serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor producing its unique side effect profile among opioid like painkillers.
Finally, in practice while morphine is a much stronger painkiller (due to its affinity rather than its mechanism) it has the standard opioid side effects of drowsiness, constipation, etc. Tramadol, on the other hand, reduces pain by both the opioid component and the serotonin-increasing component. This gives it approximately twice the potency it "should" have if looking at only the opioid component - the drowsiness, constipation and addiction aspects. Further, the serotonin can promote wakefulness (though not for everyone) countering some of the negative opioid side effects. This sometimes makes it a preferable to the codeine/hydrocodone type drugs, although this usually is the patients choice.

What is the difference between oxycodin and mophine?
Morphine is obtained from the latex of opium poppy seed pods. The opiod oxycodone is synthesized from thebaine, another alkaloid found in opium. Oxycodone and morphine differ in their mode of metabolism. Unlike morphine, oxycodone is metabolized by enzymes in the liver that detoxify a number of prescription drugs. One benefit of oxycodone is that it has fewer side effects than morphine. The latter drug brings on a very strong feeling of pleasure and euphoria. There is pleasure after taking oxycodone, but fewer euphoric side effects than from taking morphine. This should cause oxycodone to be less addictive. Street availability is another difference between oxycodone and morphine. Since morphine is so rarely prescribed for home use, it is not commonly sold on the street. There are large numbers of prescriptions filled for oxycodone in the United States. The drug is available in a slow-release form called OxyContin® that is highly popular with recreational drug users.
Is human tramadol hcl the same as your dogs tramadol?
Yes it is! My husband use TRAMADOL HCL CA 50MG but also has the 100MG. One is short acting and the other is a longer acting medication. When taking our German Shepherd to the vet they wrote out the medication instructions for the TRAMADOL 100MG and also GABAPENTIN unsure of the specific MG. Another visit they gave us Prednisone which I use . When we got home I checked all of her ones against the ones we humans use, suffice to say don’t pay the triple price at the vets , check your own medication.

Does percocet 10 325 and oxycodone hcl 30mg tablets show up as different drugs on employment urinalysis drug screen and will it reveal higher levels of the drug if you have been taking oxycodone hcl?
Percocet and oxycodone are synthetic opiods, and both have the same active narcotic oxycodone. Percocet is oxycodone 10mg and acetominaphen 325mg. Oxyxodone HCI is 30mg Oxycodoe and basically a salt additive. They do not metabolise into morphine which is what they test for in a standard 5 panel opiate drug test. They would have to order an extended opiate panel to test for synthetic opiates such as oxycodone and hydrocodone.

Does xanax and clorazepate show up the same on a drug test?
Most likely not. They are different 'classes' of drugs.Although they are both sedatives, Xanax is a drug of the Benzodiazepine class (which includes Valium, Klonopin, Ativan and Xanax), and Tramadol is a synthetic opioid (a class of drugs including heroin, Percocet, Vicodin, OxyContin, and many derivatives like Tramadol).In most cases, a drug test does not indicate what substance was used; it will only tell what class of drugs were used. More specific (and expensive) testing must be done to indicate the exact substance that was used - and only if such testing is available.So, Tramadol is likely to appear as an opioid (or opiate) in a drug test, if at all.
