Summary

Main use
Relief of moderate to severe acute and chronic pain
Who takes it
Adults
Adult dose
Children and adults over 12 years: The dosage should be adjusted based on the patient's level of pain and therapeutic response. An initial dosage of 2 tablets is recommended, with subsequent intervals of at least 6 hours, ensuring not to exceed 8 tablets per day. Administer the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible duration. Do not administer this medication for longer than necessary, and in cases where prolonged administration is required due to the nature and severity of the illness, ensure regular monitoring to confirm the need for continuous use of this medication. Elderly: Administer the usual adult dosage, noting that the elimination half-life of tramadol increases by 17% with oral administration in patients over 75 years, thus the medication should be dosed at minimum intervals of 6 hours. Renal impairment: For patients with moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance of 10-30 mL/min), extend the dosing interval to 12 hours. Administration is not recommended for patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance of less than 10 mL/min). Tramadol is removed very slowly during hemodialysis and filtration, so re-administration post-dialysis is not necessary to maintain effect. Hepatic impairment: Consider extending the dosing interval for patients with moderate hepatic impairment. Do not administer this medication to patients with moderate hepatic impairment.
