Below is specific information on ultram:
Ultram is a non-opioid prescription pain relief medication that is meant to help alleviate moderate to moderately severe pain. Ultram is a synthetic analgesic, not an anti-inflammatory, which means that people who cannot take anti-inflammatories do to their side effects, can often take Ultram to help relieve their pain.
DRUG INTERACTIONS:
Tramadol can impair thinking and the physical abilities required for driving or operating machinery. Tramadol should be avoided in patients intoxicated with alcohol, hypnotics, and narcotics. Large doses of tramadol administered with alcohol or anesthetic agents can impair breathing. Tramadol can increase the risk of seizure in epileptic patients, especially with simultaneous use of tricyclic antidepressants, such as Elavil. No dosage adjustment or reduction is necessary in healthy elderly patients 65-75 years of age. Patients over the age of 75 years, and those with liver and kidney dysfunction may need lower dosages. The safety of tramadol in children has not been established. Tramadol may rarely be habit forming. Tramadol should be avoided in patients with a history of opiate addiction or hypersensitivity to opiate medications.
