Tracidol Warnings

In severe respiratory insufficiency, tramadol is not recommended.
Tramadol is not recommended in patients with moderate and severe renal insufficiency and in patients with moderate hepatic insufficiency.
Tramadol is not suitable as a substitute in opioid-dependent patients. Although it is an opioid agonist, tramadol cannot suppress morphine withdrawal symptoms.
Convulsions have been reported in tramadol-treated patients susceptible to seizures or taking other medications that lower the seizure threshold, especially selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants, antipsychotics, centrally acting analgesics or local anaesthesia. Epileptic patients controlled by a treatment or patients susceptible to seizures should be treated with tramadol only if there are compelling circumstances. Convulsions have been reported in patients receiving tramadol at the recommended dose levels. The risk may be increased when doses of tramadol exceed the recommended upper dose limit.
Concomitant use of opioid agonists-antagonists (nalbuphine, buprenorphine, pentazocine) is not recommended.
