Anadol 100 Inj

Overview

Anadol Injection contains Tramadol Hydrochloride, manufactured by Square Pharmaceuticals PLC. It is a centrally acting opioid analgesic used for the management of moderate to severe pain, including post-operative pain.

Dosage and Administration

Adults: 50-100 mg by slow intravenous, intramuscular, or subcutaneous injection every 4-6 hours as needed, not exceeding 600 mg per day. Dose should be individualized based on pain severity.

Interaction

Concomitant use with CNS depressants (alcohol, sedatives, opioids), MAO inhibitors, and SSRIs/SNRIs increases risk of respiratory depression and serotonin syndrome. Carbamazepine reduces tramadol's analgesic effect.

Contraindications

Contraindicated in acute intoxication with alcohol, hypnotics, or other centrally acting analgesics; in patients with known hypersensitivity to tramadol; and in patients treated with MAO inhibitors.

Side Effects

Nausea, vomiting, dizziness, drowsiness, sweating, and dry mouth. Respiratory depression may occur, particularly with rapid IV administration.

Pregnancy and Lactation

Not recommended during pregnancy as Tramadol crosses the placenta; may cause neonatal withdrawal symptoms. Not recommended during breastfeeding.

Precautions and Warnings

Administer slowly by IV to reduce risk of nausea and hypotension. Use with caution in patients with respiratory depression, head injury, or history of seizures.

Storage Conditions

Store below 30°C, protected from light. Keep out of the reach of children.
