In rare cases, fatal allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis may occur, so notify medical personnel immediately if unusual symptoms arise. Patients with acute or severe bronchial asthma face a risk of respiratory depression when using this medication, so it must be administered in a setting equipped with appropriate medical equipment. Taking this medication with alcohol or central nervous system inhibitors can lead to severe sedation and respiratory depression, so co-administration should be avoided or monitored carefully. Patients with increased intracranial pressure or head injuries should exercise caution with this medication, as respiratory depression may worsen symptoms. The tramadol in this medication can lead to psychological and physical dependence, so caution is necessary for prolonged use. Patients with reduced liver function must consult a doctor before taking this medication, and care should be taken to avoid taking it in combination with other acetaminophen formulations. Patients with a genetic predisposition to the rapid metabolism of the drug face a higher risk of respiratory depression, so dosage adjustment and monitoring are essential.

This medication can cause sleep apnea or hypoxia, so its impact should be continuously evaluated. Elderly patients or those at risk of hyponatremia should be carefully monitored for symptoms of hyponatremia while on this medication. This medication is not administered to patients with hypersensitivity or certain conditions (severe respiratory depression, head injury, MAO inhibitors, etc.). When co-administered with other central nervous system depressants, the risk of sedation and respiratory depression increases, so it should be dosed at the minimal effective dose for the shortest duration, with careful observation of the patient's condition.
