Citracet Semi Tablet

Adult dose

For children aged 12 and older and adults: The dosage should be adjusted according to the patient's pain level and therapeutic response. A starting dose of 4 tablets is recommended, and subsequent dosing intervals should be at least 6 hours apart, but not to exceed 16 tablets per day. The lowest effective dose should be administered for the shortest duration necessary. This medication should not be used longer than necessary, and if long-term use is required due to the nature of the disease and severity, regular monitoring should be conducted to assess the need for continued administration of this medication. Elderly patients Standard adult dosages should be administered; however, for elderly patients over 75 years of age, the elimination half-life of tramadol is increased by 17% when taken orally, so intervals of at least 6 hours should be maintained for administration of this medication. Patients with renal impairment For patients with moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance of 10-30 ml/min), the dosing interval should be extended to 12 hours. Administration is not recommended for patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance of less than 10 ml/min). Tramadol is eliminated very slowly during blood dialysis and filtration, so there is no need to re-administer this medication after dialysis for pain management. Patients with hepatic impairment Caution should be exercised in considering dosage adjustments for patients with moderate hepatic impairment, and this medication should not be administered to patients with severe hepatic impairment.
