TRAMADOL CAN STOP BREATHING
Tramadol is a narcotic-like pain reliever and it is used to treat moderate to severe pain. Tramadol can slow or stop breathing, and may be habit-forming. Misuse of this medicine can cause addiction, overdose or death, especially in a child or other person using the medicine without a prescription. Taking tramadol during pregnancy may cause life-threatening withdrawal symptoms in the newborn. Fatal side effects can occur if you use tramadol with alcohol, or with other drugs that cause drowsiness or slow your breathing.
