CAPSULE
**RECOMMENDED DOSAGE:** The dosage should be adjusted to the intensity of the pain. Unless otherwise prescribed, TRAMADOL should be taken as follow - independent of meals: **Adults and adolescents (12 years and older):** Acugesic is not approved for use in patients below 12 years old. **Paediatric population:** The safety and efficacy of Acugesic has not been studied in the paediatric population. Therefore, use of Acugesic is not recommended in patients under 12 years of age. **Single dose for adults and adolescents over 12 years of age:** 1 capsule/tablet to be taken with a little liquid. This is usually sufficient to relieve the pain. If, however, pain relief is unsatisfactory, a further TRAMADOL capsule/tablet can be taken after about 30–60 minutes. In general, the daily dose should not exceed 400 mg Tramadol HCl (equivalent to 8 TRAMADOL capsules/tablets). In impaired renal or hepatic function it may be necessary to adjust the dose. **Duration of treatment:** During long-term treatment with TRAMADOL the possibility of dependence cannot be entirely excluded. Therefore, the physician is to decide on the duration of treatment and whether the preparation is to be withdrawn temporarily. TRAMADOL should not be given for longer than therapeutically necessary.
