Warnings and precautions
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take this medication.
- If you are susceptible to opioid medications.
- Tramadol should be used with caution if you have acute porphyria.
- If you have epilepsy or are prone to seizures, you should only take this medication under medical supervision.
- If you have increased intracranial pressure (severe headache or feeling of dizziness).
- If you have had a head injury, if you feel dizzy, tired, cold, trembly, or pale (you may be in shock).
- If you have chronic diseases such as liver or kidney failure.
- If you suffer from depression and are taking antidepressants, as some may interact with tramadol (see "Other medications and Tramadol Aristo").
There is a slight risk that you may experience a serotonin syndrome that can occur after taking tramadol in combination with certain antidepressants or tramadol monotherapy. Consult immediately if you experience any symptoms related to this serious syndrome (see section 4 "Possible side effects").
Sleep-related respiratory disorders
Tramadol Aristo may cause sleep-related respiratory disorders, such as sleep apnea (pauses in breathing during sleep) and sleep-related hypoxemia (low oxygen levels in the blood). Symptoms may include pauses in breathing during sleep, nighttime awakenings due to shortness of breath, difficulty maintaining sleep, or excessive daytime sleepiness. If you or someone else observes these symptoms, contact your doctor. Your doctor may consider reducing the dose.
Seizures may occur in patients treated with tramadol at the recommended doses. This risk may increase if the maximum recommended daily dose is exceeded (400 mg).
Tolerance, dependence, and addiction
This medication contains tramadol, which is an opioid medication. Repeated use of opioids can make the medication less effective (the body gets used to it, which is known as pharmacological tolerance). Repeated use of tramadol can also lead to dependence, abuse, and addiction, which could result in a potentially fatal overdose. The risk of these side effects may be greater with higher doses and longer use.
Dependence or addiction can cause a feeling of lack of control over the amount of medication you need to use or how often you need to use it.
The risk of dependence or addiction varies from person to person. The risk of becoming dependent on or addicted to tramadol may be greater if:
- You or any member of your family have abused alcohol or experienced dependence on it, prescription medications, or illegal drugs ("addiction").
- You are a smoker.
- You have had mood problems (depression, anxiety, or personality disorder) or have been treated by a psychiatrist for other mental illnesses.
- If you observe any of the following symptoms while using tramadol, it could be a sign of dependence or addiction:
- You need to use the medication for a longer period than indicated by your doctor.
- You need to use a higher dose than recommended.
- You are using the medication for reasons other than those prescribed, for example, "to feel calm" or "to help you sleep".
- You have made repeated, unsuccessful attempts to stop using the medication or control its use.
- You feel unwell when you stop using the medication, and you feel better once you take it again ("withdrawal symptoms").
If you notice any of these signs, consult your doctor to determine the best treatment for you, when it is appropriate to stop the medication, and how to do it safely (see section 3, if you interrupt treatment with tramadol).
When tramadol is used for a prolonged period, its effect may decrease, and higher doses may be needed (development of tolerance).
Tramadol does not suppress morphine withdrawal syndrome.
In patients with a tendency to abuse medications, this medication should only be administered for short periods and under strict medical control.
Consult your doctor, even if any of the above circumstances have occurred to you at some point.
Extreme fatigue, loss of appetite, severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or low blood pressure may be indicators of adrenal insufficiency (low cortisol levels). If you have these symptoms, contact your doctor, who will decide if you need to take hormonal supplements.
Tramadol is transformed in the liver by an enzyme. Some people have a variation of this enzyme, and this can affect each person differently. In some people, sufficient pain relief may not be achieved, while others are more likely to experience serious side effects. If you notice any of the following side effects, you should stop taking this medication and consult a doctor immediately: slow or shallow breathing, confusion, drowsiness, constricted pupils, general malaise, or vomiting, constipation, loss of appetite.
Use in athletes
This medication contains tramadol, which may produce a positive result in doping tests.
Children and adolescents
Use in children with respiratory problems
Tramadol is not recommended for children with respiratory problems, as the symptoms of tramadol toxicity can worsen in these children.
Taking Tramadol with other medications
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or may take other medications. Especially medications such as ritonavir, quinidine, paroxetine, fluoxetine, sertraline, amitriptyline, isoniazid, ketoconazole, erythromycin, cimetidine, carbamazepine, buprenorphine, nalbuphine, and pentazocine.
The risk of side effects increases,
- If you are taking medications that can cause or facilitate seizures, such as certain antidepressants or antipsychotics. The risk of seizures increases if you take tramadol simultaneously with these medications. Your doctor will tell you if this medication is suitable for you.
The concomitant use of Tramadol and sedative medications, such as benzodiazepines or related medications, increases the risk of experiencing drowsiness, difficulty breathing (respiratory depression), coma, and can put your life at risk. Due to this, concomitant use should only be considered when no other treatment is possible.
However, if your doctor prescribes Tramadol along with sedative medications, the dose and duration of concomitant treatment should be limited by your doctor.
Tell your doctor about all sedative medications you are taking, and follow your doctor's recommended dose. It may be helpful to inform friends or relatives to be aware of the signs and symptoms indicated above. Consult your doctor if you experience any symptoms.
- The administration of tramadol with central nervous system depressants, including alcohol, can potentiate the effects on the central nervous system.
- If you are taking anticoagulant medications, such as acenocoumarol (Sintrom), as it may increase the risk of bleeding.
- Gabapentin or pregabalin to treat epilepsy or pain due to nerve problems (neuropathic pain).
Note that these instructions may also apply to medications that have been taken/used before or may be taken/used after.
Use of Tramadol with food, drink, and alcohol
This medication is administered with sufficient liquid, regardless of meals. Do not consume alcohol during treatment with tramadol, as alcohol can enhance the effects of this medication.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medication.
Pregnancy
Tramadol crosses the placental barrier, so it should not be used in pregnant women, unless absolutely necessary and under strict medical supervision.
Breastfeeding
Tramadol is excreted in breast milk. For this reason, you should not take Tramadol more than once during breastfeeding, or if you take Tramadol more than once, you should interrupt breastfeeding.
Driving and using machines
Ask your doctor if you can drive or use machines during treatment with tramadol. It is essential to observe how this medication affects you before driving or using machines. Do not drive or use machines if you feel drowsy, dizzy, have blurred vision, or double vision, or have difficulty concentrating. Be especially careful, as it can cause drowsiness, and this effect can be potentiated by alcohol and other central nervous system depressants.
This medication contains lactose. If your doctor has told you that you have an intolerance to certain sugars, consult with them before taking this medication.
3. How to take Tramadol Aristo

The dose should be adjusted according to the intensity of the pain and individual sensitivity. Normally, the smallest possible dose that provides pain relief should be used.
As with all pain medications, the dosage of tramadol in adults and adolescents over 12 years of age should be adjusted according to the intensity of the pain and the individual response of each patient.
The recommended dose is:
Adults and adolescents over 12 years of age
Normally, the initial dose is 1 or 2 capsules (50-100 mg of tramadol) followed by 1 or 2 capsules (50 or 100 mg of tramadol) every 6-8 hours, without exceeding a daily dose of 8 capsules (400 mg of tramadol).
Use in children
Tramadol is not recommended for children under 12 years of age.
Patient with hepatic or renal impairment/patients on dialysis
If you have severe liver or kidney disease, treatment with tramadol is not recommended. If you have moderate liver or kidney disorders, your doctor may prolong the dosing intervals.
Elderly patients
In elderly patients (over 75 years of age), the elimination of tramadol may be slow. If this is the case, your doctor may recommend prolonging the dosing intervals.
Follow these instructions unless your doctor has given you different instructions. Remember to take your medication.
Your doctor will indicate the duration of your treatment with this medication. Do not stop treatment before.
This medication should not be administered for longer than strictly necessary.
If you think the effect of this medication is too strong or too weak, tell your doctor or pharmacist.
If you take more Tramadol Aristo than you should
The symptoms of overdose are similar to those of other central-acting analgesics (opioids). In particular, this includes constricted pupils, vomiting, cardiovascular alterations, disturbances of consciousness up to coma, seizures, and respiratory depression or even respiratory arrest. Treatment will consist of keeping the airways clear and maintaining breathing. Vomiting will be induced or gastric lavage will be performed.
In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, contact your doctor or pharmacist or call the Toxicology Information Service, phone: 915620420, indicating the medication and the amount taken.
If you forget to take Tramadol Aristo
Do not take a double dose to make up for forgotten doses. Consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Do not stop taking this medication suddenly unless your doctor tells you to.
