Tramadol is an opioid agonist sold in the U.S. under 5 brand and generic names, for pain. Below: what the FDA label says, every product that contains it, what the pills look like, and its recall record.
From the FDA label for Ultram (application NDA020281). Other tramadol products — different forms, different strengths — are dosed differently. Follow the label for the one you were prescribed.
CONZIP should be prescribed only by healthcare professionals who are knowledgeable about the use of extended-release/long-acting opioids and how to mitigate the associated risks. ( 2.1 ) Use the lowest effective dosage for the shortest duration of time consistent with individual patient treatment goals. Reserve titration to higher doses of CONZIP for patients in whom lower doses are insufficiently effective and in whom the expected benefits of using a higher dose opioid clearly outweigh the substantial risks. ( 2 , 5 ) Initiate the dosing regimen for each patient individually, taking into account the patient's underlying cause and severity of pain, prior analgesic treatment and response, and risk factors for addiction, abuse, and misuse. ( 2.1 , 5.1 ) Respiratory depression can occur at any time during opioid therapy, especially when initiating and following dosage increases with CONZIP. Consider this risk when selecting an initial dose and when making dose adjustments. ( 2.1 , 5.2 ) CONZIP is administered orally once daily. ( 2.1 ) Discuss opioid overdose reversal agents and options for acquiring them with the patient and/or caregiver, both when initiating and renewing treatment with CONZIP, especially if the patient has additional risk factors for overdose, or close contacts at risk for exposure and overdose. ( 2.2 , 5.1 , 5.2 , 5.3 ) For patients…

The elimination half-life of tramadol is about 6 hours (mean terminal elimination half-life of tramadol in healthy adults). Tramadol's main active metabolite, M1 (O-desmethyltramadol), has a slightly longer half-life (about 7.4 hours) and drives much of the opioid effect. The half-life is markedly prolonged in liver cirrhosis (about 13 hours for tramadol and 19 hours for M1) and is somewhat longer in adults over 75, so effects can last longer in these groups.
Tramadol Hydrochloride Tablet — DailyMed ↗Half-life is how long the body takes to clear half a dose. It is not the same as how long a drug test can detect it, and it varies with age, kidney and liver function.

Table 2 includes clinically significant drug interactions with CONZIP. Table 2: Clinically Significant Drug Interactions with CONZIP Inhibitors of CYP2D6 Clinical Impact: The concomitant use of CONZIP and CYP2D6 inhibitors may result in an increase in the plasma concentration of tramadol and a decrease in the plasma concentration of M1, particularly when an inhibitor is added after a stable dose of CONZIP is achieved. Since M1 is a more potent mu-opioid agonist, decreased M1 exposure could result in decreased therapeutic effects, and may result in signs and symptoms of opioid withdrawal in patients who had developed physical dependence to tramadol. Increased tramadol exposure can result in increased or prolonged therapeutic effects and increased risk for serious adverse events including seizures and serotonin syndrome. After stopping a CYP2D6 inhibitor, as the effects of the inhibitor decline, the tramadol plasma concentration will decrease and the M1 plasma concentration will increase which could increase or prolong therapeutic effects but also increase adverse reactions related to opioid toxicity, and may cause potentially fatal respiratory depression [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Intervention: If concomitant use of a CYP2D6 inhibitor is necessary, evaluate patients at frequent intervals for adverse reactions including opioid withdrawal, seizures, and serotonin…
