Tramadol
is an analgesic and a prescription pain relief medication
that is meant to help alleviate moderate to moderately severe
pain. Tramadol is a synthetic analgesic, not an anti-inflammatory,
which means that people who cannot take anti-inflammatories
due to their side effects, can often take Tramadol to help
relieve their pain.
Precautions
DO NOT EXCEED THE RECOMMENDED DOSE OR TAKE TRAMADOL for longer
than prescribed. IF YOU EXPERIENCE difficulty breathing or tightness
of chest; swelling of eyelids, face, or lips; or develop a rash
or hives, tell your doctor immediately. Do not take any more Tramadol
unless your doctor tells you to do so. AVOID ALCOHOL while you
are using Tramadol. Tramadol will add to the effects of alcohol
and other depressants. DO NOT DRIVE, OPERATE MACHINERY, OR DO
ANYTHING ELSE THAT COULD BE DANGEROUS until you know how you react
to Tramadol . Using Tramadol alone, with other medicines, or with
alcohol may lessen your ability to drive or to perform other potentially
dangerous tasks. BEFORE YOU BEGIN TAKING ANY NEW MEDICINE, either
prescription or over-the-counter, check with your doctor or pharmacist.
FOR WOMEN: IF YOU PLAN ON BECOMING PREGNANT, discuss with your
doctor the benefits and risks of using Tramadol during pregnancy.
TRAMADOL IS EXCRETED IN BREAST MILK. DO NOT BREAST-FEED while
taking Tramadol.
