•    if you have drunk too much alcohol or taken too many sleeping tablets, pain killers, opiates or other psychotropic medicines (medicines that affect mood and emotions)

•    if you are also taking MAOIs (monoamine oxidase inhibitors; used to treat depression) or have taken them in the last 14 days before treatment with Maneo Tablets

•    if you are an epileptic and your fits are not adequately controlled by treatment

•    as a substitute in drug withdrawal treatment.

Warnings and precautions

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Maneo Tablets if you

•    think you are addicted to other pain killers (opioids)

•    suffer from an increased pressure in the brain, causing symptoms such as headache and vomiting (possibly after a head injury or brain disease)

•    suffer from consciousness disorders (e.g. if you feel that you are going to faint)

•    are in a state of shock (cold sweat may be a sign of this)

•    have difficulty in breathing

•    have a tendency towards epilepsy or fits, because the risk of a fit may increase

•    suffer from kidney or liver disease;

In such cases please consult your doctor before taking the medicine.

Epileptic fits have been reported in patients taking tramadol at the recommended dose level. The risk may be increased when doses of tramadol exceed the recommended upper daily dose limit (400mg).

Please note that Maneo Tablets may lead to physical and psychological addiction. When Maneo Tablets are taken for a long time, their effect may decrease so that higher doses have to be taken (tolerance development). In patients with a tendency to abuse medicines or who are dependent on medicines, treatment with this medicine should only be carried out for short periods and under strict medical supervision. Please also inform your doctor if any of these problems occur during Maneo Tablets treatment or if they applied to you in the past.

other medicines and Maneo Tablets

Please tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription, herbal medicines or any of the following:

   Do not take Maneo Tablets at the same time, or within 14 days of taking MAOIs (moclobemide or phenelzine for depression, selegiline for Parkinson's disease).

The pain relieving effect of Maneo Tablets may be weakened or shortened if you also take medicines containing:

•    carbamazepine (used to treat epilepsy)

•    buprenorphine, nabulphine or pentazocine (pain killers)

•    ondansetron (prevents nausea)

The risk of side effects increases if:

•    You take tranquillisers, sleeping pills, other pain relievers such as morphine and codeine (also as cough medicine),

and alcohol while you are taking this medicine. You may feel drowsier or feel that you may faint. If this happens tell your doctor.

•    You are taking medicines which may cause convulsions (fits), such as certain antidepressants or antipsychotics. The risk of having a fit may increase if you take this medicine at the same time. Your doctor will tell you whether Maneo Tablets are suitable for you.

•    You are taking certain antidepressants. Maneo Tablets may interact with these medicines and you may experience symptoms such as involuntary, rhythmic contractions of muscles, including the muscles that control movement of the eye, agitation, excessive sweating, tremor, exaggeration of reflexes, increased muscle tension, body temperature above 38 °C.

•    You take coumarin anticoagulants (medicines for blood thinning), e.g. warfarin, together with this medicine. The effect of these medicines on blood clotting may be affected and bleeding may occur.

Maneo Tablets with food, drink and alcohol.

Do not drink alcohol during treatment with Maneo Tablets as their effect may be intensified. Food does not influence the effect of Maneo Tablets.

Pregnancy, breast-feeding and fertility

If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking any medicine. There is very little information regarding the safety of tramadol in human pregnancy. Therefore you should not use Maneo Tablets if you are pregnant. Chronic use during pregnancy may lead to withdrawal symptoms in newborns.

Generally, the use of tramadol hydrochloride is not recommended during breast-feeding. Small amounts of tramadol hydrochloride are excreted into breast milk. With a single dose it is usually not necessary to interrupt breastfeeding. Please ask your doctor for advice.

Driving and using machines

Maneo Tablets may cause drowsiness, dizziness and blurred vision and therefore may impair your reactions. If you feel that your reactions are affected, do not drive a car or other vehicle, and do not use electric tools or operate machinery.

The medicine can affect your ability to drive as it may make you sleepy or dizzy.

•    Do not drive while taking this medicine until you know how it affects you.

•    It is an offence to drive if this medicine affects your ability to drive.

•    However, you would not be committing an offence if:

-    The medicine has been prescribed to treat a medical or dental problem and

-    You have taken it according to the instructions given by the prescriber or in the information provided with the medicine and

-    It was not affecting your ability to drive safely.

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure whether it is safe for you to drive while taking this medicine.

Maneo Tablets contains lactose

This medicine contains lactose, a type of sugar. If you have been told by your doctor that you have an intolerance to some sugars, contact your doctor before taking this medicinal product.

Duration of treatment

Your doctor will tell you how long you should use Maneo Tablets. This depends on the cause of the pain. You should not take Maneo Tablets for longer than necessary. If you need to be treated for a longer period, your doctor will check at regular short intervals whether you should continue to take Maneo Tablets and at what dose.

If necessary you may have breaks in your treatment. If you have the impression that the effect of Maneo Tablets is too strong or too weak, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

should contact your doctor or hospital emergency department immediately.

Symptoms of overdose may include very small pupils, vomiting, a fall in blood pressure, a fast heartbeat, collapse, loss of consciousness up to coma (deep unconsciousness), fits and breathing problems leading to cessation of breathing.

If you forget to take your tablets, pain is likely to return. Take your dose as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next dose. Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose.

if you stop taking Maneo Tablets

If you interrupt or finish treatment with Maneo Tablets too soon, pain is likely to return. If you wish to stop treatment on account of unpleasant effects, please tell your doctor.

Very rarely, people may experience confusion, panic attacks, delusions persecution (paranoia), hallucinations, change in perception of reality (derealisation) or feeling a loss of identity (depersonalization).
