Eutram 100 duplicate NRN: Tramadol Hydrochloride 100 mg Capsule

What it is

Eutram 100 duplicate NRN is a brand of tramadol hydrochloride, which is an opioid painkiller. It belongs to a class of medicines called opioid analgesics that act on the central nervous system to relieve severe pain.

What it's used for

This medicine is used for the management of severe and persistent pain that requires an opioid analgesic and that cannot be adequately treated with alternative options, including immediate-release opioids. Because of the risks of addiction, abuse, misuse, overdose, and death, it should be reserved for patients in whom other treatments are ineffective, not tolerated, or would be inadequate.

How it's taken

This medicine should be prescribed only by a healthcare professional who understands the risks of extended-release opioids. The lowest effective dose for the shortest duration should be used. Higher doses are only considered when lower doses are not effective and the expected benefits clearly outweigh the substantial risks.

Common side effects

The available information lists serious adverse reactions including addiction, abuse, misuse, life-threatening respiratory depression, ultra-rapid metabolism in children, neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome, interactions with benzodiazepines and other CNS depressants, and opioid-induced hyperalgesia (increased pain sensitivity). For a complete list of side effects, consult a pharmacist or doctor.

Important cautions

This medicine is contraindicated for all children younger than 12 years, and for postoperative management in children younger than 18 years following tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy. It is also contraindicated in patients with significant respiratory depression or acute bronchial asthma in an unmonitored setting. Warnings include the risk of opioid-induced hyperalgesia and serotonin syndrome when taken with other serotonergic drugs.
