Qdolo

(tramadol)

tramadol hydrochloride 5 MG/ML Oral Solution [Qdolo]

Dosage & administration

* Use the lowest effective dosage for the shortest duration consistent with individual patient treatment goals ( 2.1).
* Initiate the dosing regimen for each patient individually, taking into account the patient's severity of pain, patient response, prior analgesic treatment experience, and risk factors for addiction, abuse, and misuse ( 2.1).
* Monitor patients closely for respiratory depression, especially within the first 24–72 hours of initiating therapy and following dosage increases with QDOLO and adjust the dosage accordingly ( 2.1).
* Discuss availability of naloxone with the patient and caregiver and assess each patient’s need for access to naloxone, both when initiating and renewing treatment with QDOLO. Consider prescribing naloxone based on the patient’s risk factors for overdose [ 2.2, 5.2, 5.4, 5.8].
* Start at 25 mg /day and titrate in 25 mg increments as separate doses every 3 days to reach 100 mg /day (25 mg four times a day). Thereafter the total daily dose may be increased by 50 mg as tolerated every 3 days to reach 200 mg /day (50 mg four times a day). After titration, QDOLO 50 mg to 100 mg can be administered as needed for pain relief every 4 to 6 hours not to exceed 400 mg /day ( 2.3, 2.4).
* Severe hepatic impairment: Recommended dose is 50 mg every 12 hours ( 2.3).
* Do not abruptly discontinue QDOLO in a physically-dependent patient because rapid discontinuation of opioid analgesics has resulted in serious withdrawal symptoms, uncontrolled pain, and suicide ( 2.5).
