TRAMADOL AND ACETAMINOPHEN (Systemic)

Some commonly used brand names are:

In the U.S.—

  • Ultracet

Not commercially available in Canada.

Category

  • Analgesic

Description

Combination medicines containing narcotic analgesics (nar-KOT-ik an-al-JEE-zicks) such as tramadol (TRA-ma-dole) and acetaminophen (a-seat-a-MIN-oh-fen) are used to relieve pain. An opioid analgesic and acetaminophen used together may provide better pain relief than either medicine used alone. In some cases, you may get relief with lower doses of each medicine.

Opioid analgesics act in the central nervous system (CNS) to relieve pain. Many of their side effects are also caused by actions in the CNS. When opioids are used for a long time, your body may get used to them so that larger amounts are needed to relieve pain. This is called tolerance to the medicine. Also, when opioids are used for a long time or in large doses, they may become habit-forming (causing mental or physical dependence). Physical dependence may lead to withdrawal symptoms when you stop taking the medicine.

Acetaminophen does not become habit-forming when taken for a long time but it may cause other unwanted effects, when taken in large doses including liver damage, if too much is taken.

This medicine is available only with your doctor"s prescription, in the following dosage form:

  • Oral
  • Tablets (U.S.)

Before Using This Medicine

In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For tramadol and acetaminophen, the following should be considered:

Allergies—Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to tramadol, other opioid analgesics or acetaminophen. Also tell your health care professional if you are allergic to any other substances, such as foods, preservatives, or dyes.

Pregnancy—Tramadol and acetaminophen has not been studied in pregnant women. However, studies in animals have shown that tramadol and acetaminophen causes birth defects and other problems. Before taking this medicine, make sure your doctor knows if you are pregnant or if you may become pregnant.

Too much use of an opioid during pregnancy may cause the fetus to become dependent on the medicine. This may lead to withdrawal side effects in the newborn baby. Newborn seizures, symptoms of withdrawal from opioids, death of the fetus and still birth have been reported.

Breast-feeding—Tramadol and acetaminophen pass into breast milk and may cause unwanted side effects in nursing babies. It may be necessary for you to take another medicine or to stop breast-feeding during treatment. Be sure you have discussed the risks and benefits of the medicine with your doctor.

Children—Studies on this medicine have been done only in adult patients, and there is no specific information comparing use of tramadol and acetaminophen in children up to 16 years of age with use in other age groups.

Older adults—This medicine has been tested and has not been shown to cause different side effects or problems in older people than it does in younger adults.

Other medicines—Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are taking tramadol and acetaminophen, it is especially important that your health care professional know if you are taking any of the following:

  • Tramadol and acetaminophen
  • Anticoagulants (e.g., Coumadin [blood thinners])—Tramadol and acetaminophen may increase the amount of blood thinners in your blood, which can cause problems with bleeding.
  • Alcohol and products with alcohol in them—Taking these medicines with tramadol and acetaminophen may cause problems with your liver.
For acetaminophen:
  • Acetaminophen-containing products (e.g., Tylenol, Nyquil, Chlor-Trimeton Sinus)—Taking additional acetaminophen may increase the risk of liver problems.
  • For tramadol:
  • Analgesics, opioid (e.g., codeine, morphine) or
  • Antidepressants such as tricyclic antidepressants (e.g., amitriptyline [Elavil], doxepin [Sinequan]), and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (e.g., citalopram [Celexa], fluvoxamine [Luvox], sertraline [Zoloft]), and medicines with Monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor activity (isocarboxazid [e.g., Marplan], phenelzine [e.g., Nardil], procarbazine [e.g., Matulane], selegiline [e.g., Eldepryl], tranylcypromine [e.g., Parnate]) or
  • Neuroleptics (e.g., Thorazine, Prolixin)—Taking these medicines with tramadol may increase the possibility of seizures or convulsions.
  • Alcohol and products with alcohol in them or
  • Anesthetic medicines or
  • Central nervous system (CNS) depressants such as , narcotic pain relievers (e.g., Codeine, Darvon), phenothiazines (e.g., Thorazine, Prolixin), sedative hypnotics (e.g., Valium, Xanax), tranquilizers (e.g., Ativan, Haldol—Taking these medicines with tramadol may increase the chance of serious side effects.
  • Carbamazepine (e.g., Tegretol)— May decrease the blood levels of Tramadol, which increases the chance of serious side effects
  • Monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor activity (isocarboxazid [e.g., Marplan], phenelzine [e.g., Nardil], procarbazine [e.g., Matulane], selegiline [e.g., Eldepryl], tranylcypromine [e.g., Parnate]) (taken currently or within the past 2 weeks)—Taking tramadol with these medicines may cause more of a chance for seizures. It may also cause high blood pressure, unusual heartbeats, or headache
  • Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) (citalopram [e.g., Celexa], fluvoxamine [e.g., Luvox], and sertraline [e.g., Zoloft] —Taking these medicines with tramadol and acetaminophen may increase the possibility of seizures or convulsions

Other medical problems—The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of tramadol and acetaminophen. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:

  • Alcohol and/or other drug abuse, or history of, or
  • Convulsions (seizures), history of, or
  • Head injury, or
  • Hormonal problems or
  • Infections of the central nervous system or
  • Kidney disease or
  • Liver disease, or
  • Respiratory difficulty or troubled breathing, or
  • Severe abdominal problems—The chance of serious side effects may be increased

Precautions While Using This Medicine

The analgesic in this medicine will add to the effects of alcohol and other CNS depressants (medicines that slow down the nervous system, possibly causing drowsiness). Some examples of CNS depressants are antihistamines or medicine for hay fever, other allergies, or colds; sedatives, tranquilizers, or sleeping medicine; other prescription pain medicine or narcotics; opioids; barbiturates; medicine for seizures; muscle relaxants; or anesthetics, including some dental anesthetics. Also, there may be a greater risk of liver damage if you drink three or more alcoholic beverages while you are taking acetaminophen. Do not drink alcoholic beverages, and check with your medical doctor or dentist before taking any of the medicines listed above, while you are using this medicine .

This medicine may cause some people to become drowsy, dizzy, or less alert than they are normally. Make sure you know how you react to this medicine before you drive, use machines, or do anything else that could be dangerous if you are dizzy or are not alert .

Dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting may occur, especially when you get up suddenly from a lying or sitting position. Getting up slowly may help lessen this problem.

Nausea or vomiting may occur, especially after the first couple of doses. This effect may go away if you lie down for a while. However, if nausea or vomiting continues, check with your medical doctor or dentist. Lying down for a while may also help relieve some other side effects, such as dizziness or lightheadedness, that may occur.

Analgesics may cause dryness of the mouth. For temporary relief, use sugarless candy or gum, melt bits of ice in your mouth, or use a saliva substitute. However, if dry mouth continues for more than 2 weeks, check with your dentist. Continuing dryness of the mouth may increase the chance of dental disease, including tooth decay, gum disease, and fungus infections.

If you have been taking this medicine regularly , do not suddenly stop taking it without first checking with your doctor . Your doctor may want you to reduce gradually the amount you are taking before stopping completely, to lessen the chance of withdrawal side effects. This will depend on which of these medicines you have been taking, and the amount you have been taking every day.
