Dolcet

It is a light yellow, film-coated capsule-shaped tablet with off-white core and debossing as follows: "J-C" on one side and "T/P" on the other.
Each tablet contains 37.5 mg tramadol hydrochloride and 325 mg paracetamol.
Excipients/Inactive Ingredients: The inactive ingredients are powdered cellulose, pregelatinized starch, sodium starch glycolate, maize starch, magnesium stearate, hypromellose, polyethylene glycol, polysorbate 80, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, and carnauba wax.

Pharmacology: Pharmacodynamics: Tramadol is a centrally acting analgesic compound. At least two complementary mechanisms appear applicable, binding of parent and M1 metabolite to μ-opioid receptors and weak inhibition of reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin.
Acetaminophen is another centrally acting analgesic. The exact site and mechanism of its analgesic action is not clearly defined.
When evaluated in a standard animal model, the combination of tramadol and acetaminophen exhibited a synergistic effect.
Pharmacokinetics: General: Tramadol is administered as a racemate and both the [-] and [+] forms of both tramadol and M1 are detected in the circulation. The pharmacokinetics of plasma tramadol and paracetamol following oral administration of one Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) tablet are shown in Table 1. Tramadol has a slower absorption and longer half-life when compared to paracetamol.
After a single oral dose of one Tramadol + Paracetamol combination tablet (37.5 mg/325 mg) peak plasma concentrations of 64.3/55.5 ng/mL [(+)-Tramadol/(-)-Tramadol] and 4.2 μg/mL (paracetamol) are reached after 1.8 h [(+)-Tramadol/(-)-Tramadol] and 0.9 h (paracetamol), respectively. Mean elimination half lives t_1/2 are 5.1/4.7 h [(+)-Tramadol/(-)-Tramadol] and 2.5 h (paracetamol).
Single and multiple dose pharmacokinetic studies of Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) in volunteers showed no significant drug interactions between tramadol and paracetamol. (See Table 1.)

Absorption: Tramadol hydrochloride has a mean absolute bioavailability of approximately 75% following administration of a single 100 mg oral dose of tramadol tablets. The mean peak plasma concentration of racemic tramadol and M1 after administration of two Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) tablets occurs at approximately two and three hours, respectively, post-dose in healthy adults.
Oral absorption of paracetamol following administration of Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) is rapid and almost complete and occurs primarily in the small intestine. Peak plasma concentrations of paracetamol occur within 1 hour and are not affected by co-administration with tramadol.
Food effects: The oral administration of Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) with food has no significant effect on the peak plasma concentration or extent of absorption of either tramadol or paracetamol, so that Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) can be taken independently of meal times.
Distribution: The volume of distribution of tramadol was 2.6 and 2.9 L/kg in male and female subjects, respectively, following a 100 mg intravenous dose. The binding of tramadol to human plasma proteins is approximately 20%.
Paracetamol appears to be widely distributed throughout most body tissues except fat. Its apparent volume of distribution is about 0.9 L/kg. A relative small portion (~20%) of paracetamol is bound to plasma protein.
Metabolism: Plasma concentration profiles for tramadol and its M1 metabolite measured following dosing of Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) in volunteers showed no significant change compared to dosing with tramadol alone.
Approximately 30% of the dose is excreted in the urine as unchanged drug, whereas 60% of the dose is excreted as metabolites. The major metabolic pathways appear to be N- and O-demethylation and glucuronidation or sulfation in the liver. Tramadol is extensively metabolized by a number of pathways, including CYP2D6.
Patients who are CYP2D6 ultra-rapid metabolizers may convert tramadol to its active metabolite (M1) more rapidly and completely than other patients (see CYP2D6 Ultra-rapid Metabolism of Tramadol under Precautions). The prevalence of this CYP2D6 genotype varies by population and has been reported in literature to range from 1% to 10% in African Americans, Caucasian Americans, Asians and Europeans (including specific studies in Greeks, Hungarians and Northern Europeans) to as high as 29% in African/Ethiopians. Paracetamol is primarily metabolized in the liver by first-order kinetics and involves three principle separate pathways: conjugation with glucuronide; conjugation with sulfate; oxidation via cytochrome P450 enzyme pathway.
Excretion: Tramadol and its metabolites are eliminated primarily by the kidney. The plasma elimination half-lives of racemic tramadol and M1 are approximately six and seven hours, respectively. The plasma elimination half-life of racemic tramadol increased from approximately six hours to seven hours upon multiple dosing of Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet).
The half-life of paracetamol is about 2 to 3 hours in adults. It is somewhat shorter in children and somewhat longer in neonates and in cirrhotic patients. Paracetamol is eliminated from the body primarily by formation of glucuronide and sulfate conjugates in a dose-dependent manner. Less than 9% of paracetamol is excreted unchanged in the urine.
Toxicology: Non-Clinical Information: Tramadol/Paracetamol combination: There are no animal or laboratory studies on the combination product (tramadol and paracetamol) to evaluate carcinogenesis, mutagenesis, or impairment of fertility.
No drug-related teratogenic effects were observed in the progeny of rats treated orally with the combination of tramadol and paracetamol. The tramadol/paracetamol combination product was shown to be embryotoxic and fetotoxic in rats at a maternally toxic dose (50/434 mg/kg tramadol/paracetamol) 8.3 times the maximum human dose but was not teratogenic at this dose level. Embryo and fetal toxicity consisted of decreased fetal weights and increased supernumerary ribs. Lower and less severe maternally toxic dosages (10/87 and 25/217 mg/kg tramadol/paracetamol) did not produce embryo or fetal toxicity.
Tramadol hydrochloride: Carcinogenicity and Mutagenicity: A slight but statistically significant increase in two common murine tumors, pulmonary and hepatic, was observed in a mouse carcinogenicity study, particularly in aged mice (dosing orally up to 30 mg/kg for approximately two years, although the study was not done with the Maximum Tolerated Dose). This finding is not believed to suggest risk in humans. No such finding occurred in a rat carcinogenicity study.
Tramadol was not mutagenic in the following assays: Ames Salmonella microsomal activation test, CHO/HPRT mammalian cell assay, mouse lymphoma assay (in the absence of metabolic activation), dominant lethal mutation tests in mice, chromosome aberration test in Chinese hamsters, and bone marrow micronucleus tests in mice and Chinese hamsters.
Weakly mutagenic results occurred in the presence of metabolic activation in the mouse lymphoma assay and micronucleus test in rats. Overall, the weight of evidence from these tests indicates that tramadol does not pose a genotoxic risk to humans.
Fertility: No effects on fertility were observed for tramadol at oral dose levels up to 50 mg/kg in male rats and 75 mg/kg in female rats.
Effect on Reproduction: Tramadol was evaluated in peri- and post-natal studies in rats. Progeny of dams receiving oral (gavage) dose levels of 50 mg/kg or greater had decreased weights, and pup survival was decreased early in lactation at 80 mg/kg (80 mg/kg (6 to 10 times the maximum human dose). No toxicity was observed for progeny of dams receiving 8, 10, 20, 25, or 40 mg/kg. Maternal toxicity was observed at all dose levels of tramadol in this study, but effects on progeny were evident only at higher dose levels where maternal toxicity was more severe.

Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) is indicated for the management of moderate to severe pain.

Dosage: Adults and children 16 years of age: The maximum single dose of Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) is 1 to 2 tablets every 4 to 6 hours as needed for pain relief up to a maximum of 8 tablets per day. The lowest effective dose should be used for the shortest period of time.
Treatment Withdrawal: Do not stop the use of Tramadol hydrochloride + Paracetamol (Dolcet) abruptly. Withdrawal symptoms may be relieved by tapering the medication (see Treatment withdrawal under Precautions).
Special Populations: Children below 16 Years of Age: The use of Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) is contraindicated in children below 12 years of age (see Contraindications).
The safety and effectiveness of Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) in children aged 12 to below 16 years of age has not been established (see Contraindications and Use in Children: Other risk factors for life-threatening respiratory depression in children under Precautions).
Elderly (65 years of age and older): No overall differences with regard to safety or pharmacokinetics were noted between subjects ≥65 years of age and younger subjects.
Renal impairment: In patients with creatinine clearances of less than 30 mL/min, it is recommended that the dosing interval of Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) be increased not to exceed 2 tablets every 12 hours.
Hepatic impairment: The use of Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) in patients with severe hepatic impairment is not recommended.
Administration: Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) tablets are for oral administration. Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) can be administered without regard to food.

Accidental ingestion: Accidental ingestion of tramadol can result in respiratory depression and seizures due to an overdose of tramadol. Respiratory depression and seizures have been reported in a child following ingestion of a single tablet. Fatalities due to tramadol overdose have also been reported.
Symptoms and signs: Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) is a combination product. The clinical presentation of overdose may include the signs and symptoms of tramadol toxicity, acetaminophen toxicity or both. The initial symptoms of tramadol overdosage may include respiratory depression and/or seizures. The initial symptoms seen within the first 24 hours following an acetaminophen overdose may include: gastrointestinal irritability, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, malaise, pallor and diaphoresis.
Tramadol: Serious potential consequences of overdosage of the tramadol component are respiratory depression, lethargy, coma, seizure, cardiac arrest and death. In addition, cases of QT prolongation have been reported during overdose.
Paracetamol: Paracetamol in massive overdosage may cause hepatic toxicity in some patients. Early symptoms following a potentially hepatotoxic overdosage may include: gastrointestinal irritability, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, malaise, pallor, and diaphoresis. Clinical and laboratory evidence of hepatic toxicity may not be apparent until 48 to 72 hours post-ingestion.
Treatment: A single or multiple overdose with Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) may be a potentially lethal polydrug overdose, and appropriate expert consultation, if available, is recommended.
While naloxone will reverse some, but not all, symptoms caused by overdosage with tramadol, the risk of seizures is also increased with naloxone administration. Based on experience with tramadol, hemodialysis is not expected to be helpful in an overdose because it removes less than 7% of the administered dose in a 4-hour dialysis period.
In treating an overdosage of Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet), primary attention should be given to maintaining adequate ventilation along with general supportive treatment. Because strategies for the management of overdose are continually evolving, it is advisable to contact a poison control center (where available) to determine the latest recommendations for the management of an overdose. Hypotension is usually hypovolemic in etiology and should respond to fluids. Vasopressors and other supportive measures should be employed as indicated. A cuffed endo-tracheal tube should be inserted when necessary, to provide assisted respiration.
In adult and pediatric patients, any individual presenting with an unknown amount of paracetamol ingested or with a questionable or unreliable history about the time of ingestion should have a plasma paracetamol level drawn and be treated with acetylcysteine. If an assay cannot be obtained and the estimated paracetamol ingestion exceeds 7.5 to 10 grams for adults and adolescents or 150 mg/kg for children, dosing with N- acetylcysteine should be initiated and continued for a full course of therapy.

Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) is contraindicated: In all children younger than 12 years of age.
In post-operative management in children younger than 18 years of age following tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy.
In patients who have previously demonstrated hypersensitivity to tramadol, paracetamol, any other component of this product or opioids.
In cases of acute intoxication with alcohol, hypnotics, narcotics, centrally acting analgesics, opioids or psychotropic drugs.
In patients using monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) concurrently or within the last 14 days.
In patients with significant respiratory depression (see Precautions).

Seizures: Seizures have been reported in patients receiving tramadol within the recommended dosage range. Spontaneous post-marketing reports indicate that seizure risk is increased with doses of tramadol above the recommended range. Concomitant use of tramadol increases the seizure risk in patients taking: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI antidepressants or anorectics), Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), and other tricyclic compounds (e.g., cyclobenzaprine, promethazine, etc.), or Opioids.
Administration of tramadol may enhance the seizure risk in patients taking: MAO inhibitors, Neuroleptics or other drugs that reduce the seizure threshold.
Risk of convulsions may also increase in patients with epilepsy, those with a history of seizures, or in patients with a recognized risk for seizure (such as head trauma, metabolic disorders, alcohol and drug withdrawal, central nervous system [CNS] infections). In tramadol overdose, naloxone administration may increase the risk of seizure.
Anaphylactic reactions: Patients with a history of anaphylactic reactions to codeine and other opioids may be at increased risk and therefore should not receive Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet).
Serious and rarely fatal anaphylactic reactions have been reported in patients receiving therapy with tramadol. Advise patients to seek medical attention if they experience any symptoms of a hypersensitivity reaction.
Respiratory depression: Patients with significant respiratory depression (see Contraindications) or acute, severe bronchial asthma are at increased risk of life-threatening respiratory depression when treated with opioids.
Administer Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) cautiously in patients at risk for respiratory depression. When large doses of tramadol are administered with anesthetic medications or alcohol, respiratory depression may result. Treat such cases as an overdose. If naloxone is to be administered, use cautiously because it may precipitate seizures.
Opioids can cause sleep-related breathing disorders such as sleep apnea syndromes (including central sleep apnea [CSA]) and hypoxia (including sleep-related hypoxia) (see Adverse Reactions). Opioid use increases the risk of CSA in a dose-dependent fashion. Evaluate patients on an ongoing basis for the onset of a new sleep apnea, or a worsening of an existing sleep apnea. In these patients, considering reducing or stopping the opioid treatment if appropriate, using best practices for tapering of opioids (see Treatment withdrawal under Dosage & Administration, and Treatment Withdrawal as follows).
CYP2D6 Ultra-rapid Metabolism of Tramadol: Patients who are CYP2D6 ultra-rapid metabolizers may convert tramadol to its active metabolite (M1) more rapidly and completely than other patients. This rapid conversion may result in higher than expected serum M1 levels which could lead to an increased risk of respiratory depression (see Symptoms and signs: Tramadol under Overdosage). Alternative medication, dose reduction and/or increased monitoring for signs of tramadol overdose, such as respiratory depression is recommended in patients known to be CYP2D6 ultra-rapid metabolizers (see Pharmacology: Pharmacokinetics under Actions). Even at labeled dosage regimens, individuals who are ultra-rapid metabolizers may have life-threatening or fatal respiratory depression or experience signs of overdose (such as extreme sleepiness, confusion, or shallow breathing) (see Symptoms and signs: Tramadol under Overdosage).
Use with Central Nervous System (CNS) depressants, including alcohol: The concomitant use of tramadol (an active ingredient in Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet)) with CNS depressants, including alcohol, may cause additive CNS depressant effects, including profound sedation and respiratory depression. Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) should be used with caution and in reduced dosages when administered to patients receiving CNS depressants (see Interactions).
Increased Intracranial Pressure or Head Trauma: Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) should be used with caution in patients with increased intracranial pressure or head injury.
Drug dependence and potential for abuse: Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) contains tramadol as an active ingredient. A portion of the analgesic effect of Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) is attributable to the binding of the active ingredient, tramadol, to the mu-opioid receptor. Upon repeated administration of opioids, tolerance, physical dependence and psychological dependence may develop, even at the recommended dosages. Assess each patient's risk for opioid dependence and abuse prior to prescribing Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) and monitor all patients with personal or family history of substance abuse (including drug or alcohol abuse or addiction) or mental illness (e.g. major depression). Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) should not be used in opioid-dependent patients. Tramadol has been shown to reinitiate physical dependence in some patients that have been previously dependent on other opioids.
Increased risk of hepatotoxicity with alcohol use: Chronic heavy alcohol abusers may be at increased risk of liver toxicity from excessive acetaminophen use.
Treatment Withdrawal: Withdrawal symptoms may occur if Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) is discontinued abruptly. Panic attacks, severe anxiety, hallucinations, paresthesia, tinnitus, and unusual CNS symptoms have also been very rarely reported with abrupt discontinuation of tramadol hydrochloride. Clinical experience suggests that withdrawal symptoms may be relieved by tapering the medication.
Use with serotonergic drugs: Use Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) with great caution in patients taking serotonergic drugs including SSRIs. Concomitant use of tramadol with serotonergic drugs including SSRI's increases the risk of adverse events, including seizure and serotonin syndrome (see Interactions).
Serious Skin Reactions: Serious skin reactions such as acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP), Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), have been reported very rarely in patients receiving paracetamol.
Patients should be informed about the signs of serious skin reactions, and use of the drug should be discontinued at the first appearance of skin rash or any other sign of hypersensitivity.
Hyponatremia: Hyponatremia has been reported very rarely with the use of Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet), usually in patients with predisposing risk factors, such as elderly patients and/or patients using concomitant medications that may cause hyponatremia. In some reports, this hyponatremia appeared to be the result of the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) and resolved with discontinuation of Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) and appropriate treatment (e.g., fluid restriction). During Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) treatment, monitoring for signs and symptoms of hyponatremia is recommended for patients with predisposing risk factors.
Gastrointestinal conditions: Patients with disorders of the biliary tract or a history of biliary surgery should be monitored for potential development of acute pancreatitis.
Precautions General: The recommended dose of Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) should not be exceeded.
Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) should not be co-administered with other tramadol or paracetamol-containing products.
Effects on Ability to Drive and Use Machines: Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) may impair mental and physical abilities required for the performance of potentially hazardous tasks such as driving a car or operating machinery.
Renal impairment: Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) has not been studied in patients with impaired renal function. In patients with creatinine clearances of less than 30 mL/min, it is recommended that the dosing interval of Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) be increased not to exceed 2 tablets every 12 hrs.
Hepatic impairment: The use of Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) in patients with severe hepatic impairment is not recommended.
Use in Children: Other risk factors for life-threatening respiratory depression in children: Life-threatening respiratory depression and death have occurred in children who received tramadol. Tramadol is subject to variability in metabolism based upon CYP2D6 genotype, which can lead to increased exposure to an active metabolite. Based upon postmarketing reports with tramadol, children younger than 12 years of age may be more susceptible to the respiratory depressant effects of tramadol (see Contraindications). Furthermore, children with obstructive sleep apnea who are treated with opioids for post-tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy pain may be particularly sensitive to their respiratory depressant effect (see Contraindications). Because of the risk of life-threatening respiratory depression and death, avoid the use of Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) in adolescents younger than 18 years of age who have other risk factors include conditions associated with hypoventilation such as postoperative status, obstructive sleep apnea and concomitant use of other medications that cause respiratory depression.
As with adults, when prescribing opioids for adolescents, healthcare providers should choose the lowest effective dose for the shortest period of time and inform patients and caregivers about these risks and the signs of opioid overdose (see Dosage & Administration and Symptoms and signs: Tramadol under Overdosage).

Pregnancy: Tramadol has been shown to cross the placenta.
There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women.
Safe use in pregnancy has not been established.
The use of opioids during childbirth might result in respiratory depression in the newborn infant.
Prolonged use of Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet), or other opioids, during pregnancy may lead to neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome. This risk is particularly increased during the last trimester of pregnancy.
Breast-feeding: Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) is not recommended for breast-feeding mothers because its safety in infants and newborns has not been studied.
Tramadol is subject to the same polymorphic metabolism as codeine, with ultra-rapid metabolizers of CYP2D6 substrates being potentially exposed to life-threatening levels of O-desmethyltramadol (M1). At least one death was reported in a breast-feeding infant who was exposed to high levels of morphine in breast milk because the mother was an ultra-rapid metabolizer of codeine. A baby breast-feeding from an ultra-rapid metabolizer mother taking Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) could potentially be exposed to high levels of M1, and experience life-threatening respiratory depression. For this reason, breast-feeding is not recommended during treatment with Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet).
Fertility: The effect of tramadol or tramadol/acetaminophen combination on human fertility has not been evaluated.

Throughout this section, adverse reactions are presented. Adverse reactions are adverse events that have been considered to be reasonably causally associated with the use of tramadol hydrochloride/paracetamol based on a comprehensive assessment of the available adverse event information. A causal relationship with tramadol hydrochloride/paracetamol cannot be reliably established in individual cases. Further, because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared with rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.
Clinical trial data: The safety of Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) was evaluated in 3,175 patients, 16 to 90 years of age, who participated in a total of 21 clinical trials of which 20 were double-blind, controlled (i.e., placebo or active, or both) and 1 was open-label with no control group. These 20 double-blind, controlled trials comprised 11 multiple-dose and 9 single-dose. The duration of treatment ranged from one dose to up to 23 months. All patients received at least one dose of Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet) and provided safety data.
Placebo-controlled double-blind data-adverse reactions reported at ≥1% incidence: Sixteen of the 21 clinical trials were double-blind, placebo-controlled trials with a duration of treatment ranging from one dose to 91 days. Adverse reactions determined from all 21 clinical trials and reported in the 16 double-blind placebo controlled clinical trials for ≥1% of Tramadol + Paracetamol (Dolcet)-treated patients (N=1,669) and with an incidence greater than the rate in placebo-treated patients (N=1,531), are shown in Table 2. The most commonly occurring adverse reactions from the 16 placebo-controlled trials (>5% of patients) were nausea, dizziness, vomiting, headache, somnolence, and constipation. (See Table 2.)

Based on its pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties, tramadol and acetaminophen exhibits a potential for pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic interactions. The various types of interaction, associated general recommendations and lists of examples are described as follows. These lists of examples are not comprehensive and therefore it is recommended that the label of each drug that is co-administered with tramadol and acetaminophen be consulted for information related to interaction pathways, potential risks, and specific actions to be taken with regards to co-administration. (See Table 7.)
