Ultracet often causes drowsiness; therefore, use care in driving or other activities where alertness is important. Some people who have taken Ultracet have had seizures. This occurs most often when doses above the recommended range are taken. The risk of seizures is also higher if taking certain medications, such as MAO inhibitors or neuroleptics, or if the individual has epilepsy.

Withdrawal symptoms, such as sweating, anxiety or trouble sleeping, can occur if a person stops taking Ultracet suddenly.

Does Ultracet Interact with Food, Drink or Any Other Medications?

It's wise to tell a doctor and pharmacist about every type of medication currently being taken. This includes both prescriptions and over-the-counter products. Medications may interfere with each other when taken together. A doctor or pharmacist can advise on this. Do not take any other products that contain acetaminophen or tramadol if taking Ultracet.

People who take any of the following medications may not be able to take Ultracet:

• tranquilizers
• sleeping pills
• antidepressants
• opiod pain medications

There are no foods or drinks -- other than alcohol -- that are known to interact with Ultracet.

There's more to pain management than taking pain medication. Talk with a doctor about other actions that can be taken to relieve pain. Taking these steps will ensure there is a plan in place when Ultracet is no longer needed. Such steps may also enable a person to get by with less Ultracet.
