Tamidol Semi Tablet

Adult dose

Children aged 12 and older and adults: Dosage should be adjusted according to the patient's level of pain and therapeutic response. A starting dose of 4 tablets is recommended, and subsequent dosing intervals should be at least 6 hours apart, without exceeding 16 tablets per day. The effective minimum dose should be administered for the shortest duration possible. Avoid administering this medication for longer than necessary, and if long-term dosing is required based on the nature and severity of the illness, regular monitoring should be conducted to determine the necessity of continued administration of this medication. Elderly Administer the usual adult dose. However, when administering tramadol orally to patients over 75 years old, the elimination half-life of tramadol is increased by 17%, so a dosing interval of at least 6 hours must be maintained. Renal Impairment For moderate renal impairment patients (creatinine clearance of 10-30 mL/min), extend the dosing interval to 12 hours. For severe renal impairment patients (creatinine clearance of less than 10 mL/min), it is not recommended to administer this medication. Tramadol is very slowly removed during hemodialysis and filtration, so there is no need to re-administer this medication after dialysis to maintain analgesic effect. Hepatic Impairment For patients with moderate hepatic impairment, careful consideration should be given to extending the dosing interval. This medication should not be administered to patients with severe hepatic impairment.

Children aged 12 and older and adults: Dosage should be adjusted according to the patient's level of pain and therapeutic response. A starting dose of 4 tablets is recommended, and subsequent dosing intervals should be at least 6 hours apart, with a maximum of 16 tablets per day.
