This combination provides a synergistic effect, where tramadol relieves pain through the central nervous system, and paracetamol reduces pain and fever by acting on the brain.

  • Rare allergic reactions (skin rash, itching).
  • Liver toxicity (with overdose or prolonged use).

• Serious Side Effects:

  • Respiratory Depression (with tramadol):
    • Slow or shallow breathing.
  • Seizures (rare, with high doses of tramadol or in individuals with predisposing factors).
  • Liver damage (paracetamol overdose):
    • Abdominal pain, jaundice, dark urine.
  • Allergic reactions:
    • Rash, swelling, difficulty breathing.

Precautions:

1. Medical History:

     • Respiratory problems (e.g., asthma, COPD).
     • Substance abuse or history of opioid addiction.

2. Drug Interactions:

   • Avoid alcohol, sedatives, and other CNS depressants, as they may enhance drowsiness or respiratory depression.
   • Caution when taking with antidepressants or other medications affecting serotonin (e.g., SSRIs, SNRIs) due to the risk of serotonin syndrome.
   • Do not take with other paracetamol-containing products to avoid overdose.

3. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:
