Tramadol Abuse
Tramadol is a medicine that can be habit-forming, even when used at prescribed doses. It can cause addiction and overdoses can lead to coma and even death.

People are reported to have mixed Tramadol with either an energy drink, “Akpeteshie” (local gin), Coffee, and Codeine based cough syrups.
The FDA approved dose strength of 50mg and 100mg are not being adhered to.
It is recounted that people who abuse tramadol do so under the following three major reasons;
1. Tramadol as an aphrodisiac
2. Tramadol as energy drink
3. Tramadol as a replacement for Co***ne or He**in.

Important Information to the General Public
1. Tramadol must be prescribed by a qualified Doctor before taking
2. Tramadol should only be taken at the prescribed dose, frequency and duration.
3. Read the Medication Guide provided by your pharmacist before you start taking Tramadol and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
4. Always purchase prescriptions of Tramadol and other medicines from a registered pharmacy premises.
