You can take Rybix ODT (tramadol) without water. It comes in a tablet designed to dissolve on the tongue before being swallowed. It takes about a minute for Rybix ODT to completely disintegrate; if you want to drink water after you swallow it, that's fine. Do not chew or break the tablet before taking it. Rybix ODT is an opioid medication that's sometimes prescribed for moderate to severely moderate chronic pain.
