Pharmacokinetics:

Tramadol is a centrally acting opioid analgesic which binds to mu-opioid receptors and weakly inhibits the reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin. Paracetamol, a para-aminophenol derivative, has analgesic, antipyretic and weak anti-inflammatory activity. Used together, tramadol and paracetamol combination has a faster onset of action compared to tramadol alone and longer duration of action compared to paracetamol alone.

Distribution

Tramadol: Widely distributed, crosses the placenta and distributes into the breast milk; protein binding: 20%. Paracetamol: Widely distributed; crosses placenta and distributes into breast milk; negligible protein binding.

Metabolism
