WHAT IS ULTRAM?

Ultram ® is used to relieve moderate pain. It is similar to narcotic pain medications as it is an opioid analgesic It works on certain nerves in the brain that control how you experience pain.

Ultram ® is indicated for the management of moderate to moderately severe chronic pain in adults who require around-the-clock treatment of their pain for an extended period of time.

Ultram is an opiate analgesic used to manage moderate to moderately severe pain. It is also marketed under the name Tramadol. Ultram is also available in extended-release tablet form, for moderate to severe chronic pain that requires round-the-clock treatment. The extended-release formula releases pain medication over the course of the day, so one pill every 24 hours is recommended. The manufacturer recommends that no more than 300 mg of Ultram be taken in a day.

ULTRAM SIDE EFFECTS AND WITHDRAWAL

Side effects reported include impaired thinking and reaction time. Other effects include nausea, constipation, dizziness, headache, drowsiness, vomiting, itching, sweating, dry mouth, diarrhea and rash. The drug’s label warns that caution should be taken when driving or performing other tasks that require alertness.

ULTRAM WARNINGS ON USE/SIGNS OF OVERDOSE

Ultram can be habit forming. Warnings on the use of Ultram say it should not be used by patients who have been addicted to alcohol or drugs, or if they are currently intoxicated. The manufacturer also recommends that people who have been suicidal do not take it. Drugs that should not be taken with Ultram include other narcotic pain relievers, sedatives or tranquilizers, street drugs or medicine for depression, anxiety or mental illness. Seizures can occur with the use of Ultram and risk may be higher in those who have had a seizure disorder, epilepsy, head injury or a metabolic disorder. As with other opiate pain relievers, Ultram should be taken exactly as prescribed and the tablet should not be crushed or mixed with liquid and injected. Inhaling or injecting it can cause life-threatening reactions, overdose or death. Taking too much of the drug can be fatal, according to the manufacturer. Overdose symptoms can include drowsiness, extreme weakness, shallow breathing, slow heart beat, cold or clammy skin, lightheadedness, fainting or coma.

ULTRAM TREATMENT OPTIONS

Because opiate drugs can lead to addiction and abuse, they should be taken only as prescribed and never shared. The black market for painkillers makes drugs like Ultram a hot commodity. Illicit use of Ultram and other narcotics can be dangerous. Many people who have developed an addiction to opiates delay treatment because of a fear of withdrawal. Treatment options are available for people who need to find safe, medically supervised detox programs. In-patient and out-patient programs are available for detox and rehabilitation. Rapid detox programs have also been gaining ground in the medical field. Supervised in a hospital setting, rapid detox can rid patients of their dependence, often bypassing the very painful withdrawal phase while under light anesthesia.
