What it's used for
The active ingredient, tramadol, is indicated for the management of severe and persistent pain that requires an opioid analgesic and cannot be adequately treated with alternative options, including immediate-release opioids. It should be reserved for patients for whom other treatments are ineffective, not tolerated, or would be insufficient.
How it's taken
Admadol capsules are taken by mouth. The dosage must be determined by a healthcare professional. The lowest effective dose is typically used for the shortest duration needed to control pain. Always follow the prescription exactly and do not change the dose without consulting your doctor.
Common side effects
Serious side effects include addiction, abuse, misuse, life-threatening respiratory depression, neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome if used during pregnancy, interactions with benzodiazepines and other CNS depressants, opioid-induced hyperalgesia (increased pain sensitivity), and serotonin syndrome when taken with other serotonergic medicines. These risks can occur at any dose or duration. Seek medical help immediately if you experience difficulty breathing, excessive drowsiness, confusion, or severe constipation.
