Tramadol Information
|
HOW DOES Tramadol WORK?
Tramadol acts on the central nervous system and unlike codeine and its
derivative medications is a totally synthetic analgesic compound. Although
its mode of action is not completely understood, from animal tests, at
least two complementary mechanisms appear applicable: the binding of parent
compound and its metabolite to opioid receptors and weak inhibition of
reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin by nerves located within the
central nervous system. Tramadol-induced analgesia is only partially reversed
by the opiate antagonist naloxone in several animal tests. Tramadol has
been shown to inhibit reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin in vitro.
These mechanisms may contribute independently to the overall analgesic
profile of Tramadol. Analgesia in humans begins approximately within one
hour after administration and reaches a peak in approximately two to three
hours.
HOW EFFECTIVE IS Tramadol?
Tramadol has been given in single oral doses of 50, 75, 100, 150 and
200 mg to patients with pain following surgical procedures and pain following
oral surgery (extraction of impacted molars). In single-dose models of
pain following oral surgery, pain relief was demonstrated in some patients
at doses of 50 mg and 75 mg. A dose of 100 mg of Tramadol tended to provide
analgesia superior to codeine sulfate 60 mg, but it was not effective
as the combination of aspirin 650 mg with codeine phosphate 60 mg. In
single-dose models of pain following surgical procedures, 150 mg provided
analgesia generally comparable to the combination of acetaminophen 650
mg with propoxyphene napsylate 100 mg, with a tendency toward later peak
effect. Tramadol has been studied in three long-term controlled trials
involving a total of 820 patients, with 530 patients receiving Tramadol.
Patients with a variety of chronic painful conditions were studied in
double-blind trials of one to three months duration. Average daily doses
of approximately 250 mg of Tramadol in divided doses were generally comparable
with five doses of acetaminophen 300 mg with codeine phosphate 30 mg (Tylenol
with Codeine #3) daily, five doses of aspirin 325 mg with codeine phosphate
30 mg daily, or two to three doses of acetaminophen 500 mg with oxycodone
hydrochloride 5 mg (Tylox) daily.
HOW DO I USE Tramadol?
For the treatment of painful conditions Tramadol 50 mg to 100 mg can
be administered as needed for relief every four to six hours, not to exceed
400 mg per day. For moderate pain Tramadol 50 mg may be adequate as the
initial dose, and for more severe pain, Tramadol 100 mg is usually more
effective as the initial dose.
Individualization of Dose:
Patients 65 to 75 years of age:
No dose adjustment is necessary.
Patients over 75 years old:
No more then 300 mg/day in divided doses
Patients with kidney impairment:
The dosing interval of Tramadol should be increased to 12 hours with
a maximum daily dose of 200 mg.
Dialysis patients:
These patients can receive their regular dose on the day of dialysis.
Patients with cirrhosis:
Recommended dosage is 50 mg every 12 hours.
Patients receiving chronic carbamazepine:
Doses up to 800 mg daily may be required, this is up to twice the recommended
dose of Tramadol.
