Ultram extended-release is used to treat moderate to severe chronic pain when treatment is needed around the clock. Ultram may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
INDICATIONS AND USAGE ULTRAM is indicated for the management of moderate to moderately severe pain in adults. DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Adults (17 years of age and over) For patients with moderate to moderately severe chronic pain not requiring rapid onset of analgesic effect, the tolerability of ULTRAM can be improved by initiating therapy with the following titration regimen: ULTRAM should be started at 25 mg/ day qAM and titrated in 25 mg increments as separate doses every 3 days to reach 100 mg/ day (25 mg q. i. d.). Thereafter the total daily dose may be increased by 50 mg as tolerated every 3 days to reach 200 mg/ day (50 mg q. i. d.). After titration, ULTRAM 50 to 100 mg can be administered as needed for pain relief every 4 to 6 hours not to exceed 400 mg/ day. For the subset of patients for whom rapid onset of analgesic effect is required and for whom the benefits outweigh the risk of dis-continuation due to adverse events associated with higher initial doses, ULTRAM 50 mg to 100 mg can be administered as needed for pain relief every four to six hours, not to exceed 400 mg per day.
