for more information.
Important Note:
The following information is
intended to supplement, not substitute for, the
expertise and judgment of your physician, pharmacist or
other healthcare professional. It should not be
construed to indicate that use of the drug is safe,
appropriate, or effective for you. Consult your
healthcare professional before using this drug.
Uses:
Ultram is used for pain relief.
How To Use:
Take Ultram by mouth as prescribed.
It is usually taken every 4 to 6 hours as needed. Use
Ultram exactly as prescribed. Do not increase your dose,
use it more frequently or use it for a longer period of
time than prescribed because this drug can be
habit-forming. Also, if used for an extended period of
time, do not suddenly stop using this drug without your
doctor's approval. When used for extended periods,
Ultram may not work as well and may require different
dosing. Consult your doctor if the medication stops
working well.
Side Effects:
Ultram may cause dizziness,
weakness, incoordination, nausea or vomiting, stomach
upset, constipation, headache, drowsiness, anxiety,
irritability, dry mouth, or increased sweating. If any
of these effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor.
Notify your doctor if you develop any of these serious
effects while taking Ultram: chest pain, rapid heart
rate, skin rash or itching, mental confusion,
disorientation, seizures, tingling of the hands or feet,
trouble breathing. In the unlikely event you have an
allergic reaction to this drug, seek immediate medical
attention. Symptoms of an allergic reaction include:
rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, breathing trouble.
If you notice other effects not listed above, contact
your doctor or pharmacist.
Precautions:
Tell your doctor your medical
history, especially of: kidney disease, liver disease,
seizure disorder, lung disease, history of drug or
alcohol dependency, any allergies you may have. Limit
alcohol as it may add to the dizziness or drowsiness
effects caused by the medication. Because this drug may
make you dizzy/drowsy, use caution performing tasks
requiring alertness such as driving. Ultram should be
used only when clearly needed during pregnancy. Discuss
the risks and benefits with your doctor. Ultram is
excreted into breast milk. Because the effects on a
nursing infant are not known, consult your doctor before
breast- feeding.
Drug Interactions:
Tell your doctor of all
prescription and nonprescription medications you may
use, especially of: carbamazepine, narcotic pain
relievers (e.g., codeine), drugs used to aid sleep,
antidepressants (e.g., SSRI-types such as fluoxetine or
fluvoxamine), MAO inhibitors (e.g., furazolidone,
linezolid, phenelzine, procarbazine, selegiline,
tranylcypromine), psychiatric medicine (e.g.,
nefazodone), "triptan"-type drugs, anti-anxiety drugs
(e.g., diazepam), sibutramine. Also, report use of
certain antihistamines (e.g., diphenhydramine) which are
also present in many cough-and-cold products. Do not
start or stop any medicine without doctor or pharmacist
approval.
Overdose:
If overdose is suspected, contact your
local poison control center or emergency room
immediately. Symptoms of overdose may include cold and
clammy skin, low body temperature, slowed breathing,
slowed heartbeat, drowsiness, dizziness,
lightheadedness, deep sleep, loss of consciousness, or
seizures.
Notes:

as remembered; do not take it if it is near the time for
the next dose, instead, skip the missed dose and resume
your usual dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to
catch up.
