On May 1, 2024, Rubicon Research Pvt. Ltd. recalled one lot of tramadol hydrochloride 50 mg tablets after it was reported that a different medication, baclofen 10 mg tablets, could be mixed in with one lot of the tramadol hydrochloride 50 mg tablets.
Tramadol is an opioid analgesic used to treat moderate to moderately severe pain. Baclofen is a skeletal muscle relaxant used to treat different types of muscle spasticity. Unless prescribed by a doctor, tramadol and baclofen should not be taken together. Using opioids with benzodiazepines or other CNS depressants can increase the risk of severe side effects such as respiratory distress and sedation. Patients with recalled prescriptions should consult with the dispensing pharmacy to ensure they have the right medication.
