Hi,
Tramadol induced side effects. Ultracet is a combination of an opioid (tramadol) and acetaminophen commonly prescribed to treat moderate to severe pain.
Nausea, vomiting and stomach upset appear to be due to the side effects of opioid tramadol present in this combination which can be prevented by either taking it after meals or along with an anti-emetic drug like domperidone.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
