[Serious adverse drug reactions with tramadol reported to the French pharmacovigilance database between 2011 and 2015].
Thérapie 2017 December
BACKGROUND: Tramadol is an opioid and a serotonin reuptake inhibitor drug. It is approved for moderate to severe pain in adults. The aim of this study was to assess tramadol safety through a national pharmacovigilance study in France since dextropropoxyphen withdrawal in 2011.
METHODS: We described all serious adverse drug reactions (SADRs) reported with tramadol in adults in the French National PharmacoVigilance Database from August 1st, 2011 to December 31st, 2015.
RESULTS: We identified 1512 SADRs during the study period. The most frequently reported SADRs were neurological (29.4%, including troubles of consciousness [13.2%] and seizures [6.7%]), psychiatric (22.8%, including confusions [14.6%] and hallucinations [7.3%]) and gastrointestinal (17.0%, mostly nausea and vomiting [9.6%]). Unexpected SADRs were also reported: hyponatremia, cholestatic hepatitis, serotonin syndrome.
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates new unexpected hepatic and metabolic SADRs. Tramadol alone can induce serotonin syndrome in overdose situations.
