Description

Tramal (100mg) 2ml Injection is a pain-relief medicine manufactured by The Searle Company Limited, formulated with Tramadol Hydrochloride as its active ingredient. It belongs to the opioid analgesic class of medicines, provided as a solution for injection for administering pain relief in clinical settings. This pack contains 5 ampoules, each holding 2ml of solution at a strength of 100mg. Tramal Injection is commonly used for managing moderate to severe acute pain, including postoperative pain, injury-related pain, and various chronic pain conditions, working through the central nervous system to reduce the perception of pain.

Ingredients

Each Tramal ampoule contains Tramadol Hydrochloride at a strength of 100mg in a 2ml solution. Tramadol exerts its analgesic effect through a dual mechanism of action, primarily acting as a mu-opioid receptor agonist that binds to receptors in the central nervous system to reduce the perception of pain. Additionally, it inhibits the reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin, increasing the levels of these neurotransmitters and further enhancing its overall pain-relieving effect. The injectable solution also contains standard pharmaceutical excipients necessary for stability and safe administration.

Dosage Form

Tramal is available as a solution for injection, supplied in a pack of 5 ampoules, each containing 2ml of solution. It is administered by a healthcare professional, either intravenously or intramuscularly, based on the clinical situation and the physician’s assessment.

Uses

Tramal Injection is primarily used for the relief of moderate to severe acute pain, such as postoperative pain following surgical procedures or pain resulting from injury and trauma. It is also used in managing chronic pain conditions, including neuropathic and musculoskeletal pain, as well as pain associated with cancer or terminal illness in palliative care settings. Additionally, it may be used for pain control during labor, kidney stone-related pain, and in intensive care or emergency situations requiring prompt pain management.

How to Use

Tramal Injection is administered by a trained healthcare professional, either into a vein or a muscle, based on the clinical need and the doctor’s dosing plan. The usual adult dose is generally 50mg to 100mg given every four to six hours, adjusted according to the individual’s pain level and response to treatment. This medicine is not recommended for children under 12 years of age. Dosage should always be individualized by the treating physician based on the patient’s medical condition.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Tramal Injection may include sedation, sweating, nausea, dizziness, and dry mouth. Because tramadol inhibits norepinephrine reuptake, it may also contribute to increased heart rate and blood pressure in some patients. In cases of overdose, more serious symptoms such as severe drowsiness, shallow breathing, and pinpoint pupils may occur, requiring immediate emergency medical attention. Any unusual or persistent symptoms should be reported to the administering healthcare provider promptly.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Pregnant women should consult their doctor before receiving Tramal Injection, as its use during pregnancy requires careful medical evaluation of potential risks and benefits. Breastfeeding mothers are generally advised to avoid this medicine, as tramadol may pass into breast milk and affect a nursing infant; a doctor should be consulted before use during lactation.

Storage Instructions

Store Tramal ampoules at room temperature, protected from direct light, and away from excessive heat or moisture. Keep the ampoules in their original packaging until ready for administration by a healthcare professional. Store the medicine out of reach of children, and do not use any ampoule that has passed its printed expiry date or shows visible particles or discoloration.
