• The likelihood of serious breathing problems is elevated at the start of treatment, after a dosage increase, or if you take an incorrect dose/strength.
• Combining this medication with alcohol or other substances that induce drowsiness or respiratory issues can result in severe side effects, including death. Certain drugs can interfere with how tramadol/acetaminophen is metabolized, affecting its efficacy. Ensure you understand how to properly take tramadol/acetaminophen and which medications to avoid.
• Seek immediate medical attention if you experience slow or shallow breathing, unusual lightheadedness, severe drowsiness or dizziness, or difficulty waking up.
• Store this medication securely to prevent theft, misuse, or abuse. If accidental ingestion occurs, obtain medical help immediately.
• Acetaminophen, a component of this product, can cause serious liver damage if taken in excess. Adults should not exceed 4000 milligrams (4 grams) daily. Those with liver issues and children should consume less. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for safe acetaminophen limits.
• Avoid using other medications containing acetaminophen without consulting your healthcare provider. Acetaminophen is present in many over-the-counter and prescription products. Check medication labels and ask your pharmacist if uncertain.

Children aged 12 to 18 should avoid tramadol following certain surgeries, such as tonsil or adenoid removal, and it is not advised for children in this age group who are obese or have breathing problems, as they may be more sensitive to tramadol's effects, leading to serious breathing issues.

Consult your doctor or pharmacist to fully understand the risks and benefits of using this medication.

When taking this medication, you might experience some mild side effects such as nausea, vomiting, constipation, lightheadedness, dizziness, drowsiness, or sweating. These symptoms often improve with time. To manage constipation, include dietary fiber in your meals, stay hydrated, and keep active. A laxative might be necessary; consult your pharmacist for advice. To avoid dizziness, rise slowly from sitting or lying down.

Be aware of more serious side effects that require prompt medical attention, such as sleep apnea, mood changes (like agitation or hallucinations), severe stomach pain, trouble urinating, or symptoms of adrenal gland issues, including loss of appetite or unusual tiredness.

In some individuals, this drug is converted into a potent opioid more rapidly, increasing the risk of serious effects like slow breathing, severe drowsiness, or confusion. Immediate medical help is crucial if these occur. Though rare, an allergic reaction can happen. Look for signs like rash, itching, swelling, or breathing difficulties and get medical help right away. If you notice any other unusual symptoms, consult your healthcare provider.
