    Drug Study: Sedation, Dizziness/vertigo, Headache, Hypotension Sweating, Nausea, Vomiting

    Uploaded by

    Roland Yuste
    Tramadol is a centrally acting analgesic used to treat moderate to moderately severe pain. It works by binding to mu-opioid receptors in the central nervous system and inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine. Common adverse reactions include sedation, dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, and constipation. Tramadol can interact with other drugs like carbamazepine and MAOIs, increasing or decreasing its effectiveness. It should be used cautiously in patients with a history of seizures, renal or hepatic impairment, or substance abuse. Nursing considerations include monitoring for constipation, sedation, and seizures.
