Other clinically significant adverse experiences previously reported in clinical trials or post-marketing reports with tramadol HCl: Other events which have been reported with the use of tramadol products include: Orthostatic hypotension, allergic reactions (including anaphylaxis and urticaria, Stevens-Johnson syndrome/TENS), cognitive dysfunction, suicidal tendency and hepatitis. Reported laboratory abnormalities included elevated creatinine. Serotonin syndrome (whose symptoms may include fever, excitation, shivering and agitation) has been reported with tramadol when used concomitantly with other serotonergic agents eg, SSRIs and MAO inhibitors. Post-marketing surveillance of tramadol has revealed rare alterations of warfarin effect, including elevation of prothrombin times.
Other clinically significant adverse experiences previously reported in clinical trials or post-marketing reports with paracetamol: Allergic reactions (primarily skin rash) or reports of hypersensitivity secondary to paracetamol are rare and generally controlled by discontinuation of the drug, and when necessary, symptomatic treatment. There have been several reports that suggest that paracetamol may produce hypoprothrombinemia when administered with warfarin-like compounds. In other studies, prothrombin time did not change.
