This medication can rarely cause serious skin reactions; if a rash or hypersensitivity occurs after use, discontinue immediately and inform the medical staff. One of the main ingredients, Tramadol, may increase the risk of seizures when taken in excess of the recommended dose. Taking it with certain antidepressants or narcotics can further increase the risk of seizures, so caution is required. Rarely, this medication may cause a serious allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis during use; if any unusual symptoms occur, inform the medical staff immediately. Administering this medication to patients with acute and severe bronchial asthma may result in life-threatening respiratory depression; therefore, it must be administered in a proper environment and with appropriate equipment. Taking this medication with alcohol or central nervous system depressants may significantly increase the risk of severe sedation, respiratory depression, coma, and death; co-administration should be avoided or done with caution. Patients with elevated intracranial pressure or head injuries may worsen symptoms due to the respiratory depression effect of this medication; caution is necessary. This medication may cause psychological and physical dependence, so continuous monitoring for dependency is required when taken for long periods. Patients with weakened liver function or liver disease must consult with a doctor before taking this medication, as the acetaminophen component may cause liver damage. In particular, patients with rapid metabolism of the enzyme CYP2D6 may experience enhanced effects of this medication, increasing the risk of respiratory depression, thus requiring careful dose adjustment and monitoring. It is advisable not to use this medication in children under 12 years of age or adolescents under 18 years of age following certain surgeries. This medication may cause sleep apnea or hypoxia, so symptoms should be continuously monitored, and the dose should be reduced or discontinued if necessary.
