Yes, but only a small % of it reaches your bloodstream, and none ends up in your stomach to irritate it.
We have used it for many years, long before it was widely available in the US, and even my husband nephrologist allows it with his CKD. I believe the situation may be different if you have liver failure.

Tramadol loves me, it compressed my organs & made me hemorrhage. I’ve had reactions to Tylenol, aspirin, Motrin & all NSAIDS, cannot do any over-the-counter, have 42 known drug allergies cannot hardly get any new med prescribed. It took me 16 months to get cleared for the Jensen vaccine. I currently have or have residual chronic pain syndromes & cannot get the one pain med everyone knows I can safely take, dilaudid. It’s a sad day in America when a person with over 40 conditions can’t get pain meds because they might become an addict & EVERYONE KNOWS how I feel & what my pain is. Nicotine is the only ‘addiction’ I’ve ever had. Prove it, everyone else has failed! Of course having multiple issues with my entire spine damaged does not help, I recently broke it for the 3rd time. I exist to suffer in extreme pain because Michigan no longer practices real medicine, or treats critical care patients who call them out & fights them when they receive such treatment, abuse, neglect or outright blackballing. Thirty eight years after my accident I suffer in extreme pain at a level it hurts to inhale/exhale with every breath. In Michigan (No. Korea USA) unless I’m hospitalized, I am only allowed infrared heat. Michigan doctors call this living, I call it suffering to exist, I would have been better off not becoming a world case study, not advancing the POA, not surviving multiple surgical hemorrhages…because I had a amazing life…when I was medicated. Now I lie in bed for 2 hours after 5 hours laying & dozing on & off, fearful of all movement. That causes nausea, vertigo (my body’s revenge for ignoring extreme pain levels), difficulty breathing until I can fall into my lift chair & wait for my body to quit screaming. Then as long as I don’t do more than breath…my pain drops to a four. THIS IS A COMPLETE FAILURE OF ALL MEDICAL STANDARDS I’VE BEEN EXPOSED TO SINCE FEB. 17, 1985. What the hell happened to the Hippocratic Oath? In my world it ended 7 years ago.
