  • Drug class: Central Analgesic

Ultracet is a combination medication containing the opioid analgesic tramadol (37.5 mg) and acetaminophen (325 mg). It is approved for short term reatment of acute pain.

Benefits: Ultracet begins working faster than tramadol alone, and provides long-lasting pain relief. It is not an NSAID and may be a good choice for people with risk of stomach ulcers, kidney problems, or taking blood pressure medications.

Risks: Although it is very effective and relatively safe pain medication, some people should not take Ultracet, particularly without a prescription and doctor's approval:

  • It is dangerous for people who have a history of severe, life-threatening allergic reactions to opioids (e.g. codeine).
  • Ultracet prescription is not suitable choice for those who have a tendency to abuse drugs or alcohol, or a history of drug dependence.

Dosage

Ultracet, a prescription pain reliever originally developed by Ortho-McNeil, is widely available as generic. So if you are about to buy Ultracet, you may want to check prices for lower-cost generic drug.

The medication is used to treat moderate to severe pain for a period of five days or less. The usual prescription dose of Ultracet is two tablets every 4 to 6 hours as needed for pain relief up to a maximum of 8 tablets per day.

If you have kidney problems, the doctor may reduce the dose to 2 tablets every 12 hours. Older adults may also receive a low dose.

Your doctor may prescribe more flexible dosing.

Ultracet may be a suitable option for the management of moderate-to-severe migraine headache3. It reduces the severity of pain, photophobia, and phonophobia associated with migraine headache, but does not reduce migraine-associated nausea.

Ultracet versus other prescription drugs

According to the clinical study, Ultracet provides effective rapid analgesia comparable to that of Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen with lower rate of side effects1. In the study the onset of pain relief was about 34 minutes with 2 Ultracet tablets and 25.4 minutes with anoter drug.

The results of another study suggest that Ultracet tablets (37.5 mg/325 mg) are as effective as Codeine/APAP capsules (30 mg/300 mg) in the treatment of chronic low back pain and osteoarthritis pain. Codeine/APAP causes higher rate of sleepiness and constipation whereas Ultracet causes more headache2.
