 | Do not take more of this medication than is recommended. An acetaminophen and tramadol overdose can be fatal. The maximum amount of acetaminophen and tramadol is 2 tablets per dose, or 8 tablets per day. |
| | Do not use any other over-the-counter cough, cold, allergy, or pain medication without first asking your doctor or pharmacist. Acetaminophen is contained in many cold and pain medicines available over the counter. If you take certain products together you may accidentally take too much acetaminophen. Read the label of any other medicine you are using to see if it contains acetaminophen. |
Tell your doctor if you drink more than three alcoholic beverages per day or if you have ever had alcoholic liver disease (cirrhosis). You may not be able to take medication that contains acetaminophen.
Seizures (convulsions) have occurred in some people taking acetaminophen and tramadol. You may be more likely to have a seizure while taking acetaminophen and tramadol if you have a history of seizures or head injury, a metabolic disorder, a brain or spinal cord infection, or if you are taking certain medicines. Talk with your doctor about your individual risk of having a seizure from this medicine.
 | While you are taking acetaminophen and tramadol, do not drink alcohol or use drugs that make you sleepy (such as cold medicine, other pain medications, muscle relaxants, and medicine for seizures, depression or anxiety). These drugs may slow your breathing or increase drowsiness when used together with acetaminophen and tramadol. |
 | Acetaminophen and tramadol can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert. |
