Ultram
is a non-opioid analgesic and a prescription pain relief medication
that is meant to help alleviate moderate to moderately severe
pain. Ultram 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 Ultram to help relieve
their pain.
Directions
Follow the directions for using Ultram provided by your doctor.
Store Ultram at room temperature, away from heat and light. If
you miss a dose of Ultram, take it as soon as possible. If it
is almost time for your next dose of Ultram, skip the missed dose
and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses
of Ultram at once.
Precautions
Do not exceed the recommended dose or take Ultram 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 Ultram
unless your doctor tells you to do so. Avoid alcohol while you
are using Ultram. Ultram 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 Ultram.
Using Ultram 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 Ultram during pregnancy. Ultram
is excreted in breast milk. Do not breast-feed while taking Ultram.
