What should I watch for while taking Tramadol?
|
|
Tell your prescriber or health care professional if your pain does not go away. Visit
your prescriber or health care professional for regular checks on your progress if you
are taking Tramadol regularly.
Do not drive, use machinery, or do anything that needs mental alertness until you know
how Tramadol affects you. Be careful taking other medicines which may also make you
tired. This effect may be worse when taking these medicines with Tramadol. Alcohol can
increase possible drowsiness, dizziness, confusion and affect your breathing. Avoid
alcohol while taking Tramadol.
Your mouth may get dry. Chewing sugarless gum, sucking hard candy and drinking plenty of
water will help.
If you are going to have surgery, tell your prescriber or health care professional that
you are taking Tramadol.
