This means that it should be used for only a short period of time (five days or fewer). Although the drug is not a controlled substance in the United States, it has some potential to be abused.
Tramadol is a narcotic-like pain reliever.
Acetaminophen ("APAP") is a pain reliever and fever reducer commonly found in non-prescription medications such as Tylenol®. "APAP" is an acronym for one of the chemical names for acetaminophen. Combining tramadol with acetaminophen helps improve Ultracet's effectiveness at relieving pain.
The combination of acetaminophen and tramadol is used to treat moderate to severe pain.
Acetaminophen and tramadol may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
