  • Analgesic: Suggested starting dose.
  • Chronic pain: Reasonable for mild pain; adjust for severe pain. Best used as multimodal therapy with NSAIDs or other analgesics due to erratic pharmacokinetics.
  • Mild acute and chronic soft tissue and musculoskeletal pain: Chewable tablets are authorized for this use. Sustained-release tablets are unsuitable for once-daily dosing.
  • Perioperative acute pain: Used instead of traditional opioids to provide analgesia for acute pain.

概要

トラマドールは、主に軽度から中等度の疼痛管理に使用され、時には鎮咳薬としても使用される、合成の中枢性​オピオイド様鎮痛薬​です。

​主な臨床的特徴:​

  • 弱い​μ-オピオイド受容体作動薬​として働き、​セロトニン​および​ノルアドレナリン​の再取り込みを阻害します。
  • 変形性関節症やがんなどの慢性疼痛に対する​マルチモーダル鎮痛プロトコル​(NSAIDs、ガバペンチン、アマンタジンなどとの併用)の一部として非常に有用です。
  • 慢性疼痛状態において、完全な鎮痛効果が得られるまでに最大​2週間​かかる場合があります。
  • ​臨床のポイント:​ モノグラフには米国では規制薬物ではないと記載されていますが、ヒトでの乱用の可能性があるため、​米国DEAは2014年にトラマドールをスケジュールIVの規制物質に再分類しました​
  • 犬では一般的に忍容性が高く、鎮静が最も一般的な副作用です。猫では不快感(dysphoria)を経験することがあり、薬の嗜好性が非常に悪いです。

作用機序

Tramadol provides analgesia through a dual mechanism of action:

  1. ​Opioid Activity:​ Tramadol and its active metabolite ​O-desmethyltramadol (M1)​ bind to mu-opioid receptors in the central nervous system.
  2. ​Monoaminergic Activity:​ It inhibits the synaptic reuptake of ​serotonin (5-HT)​ and ​norepinephrine (NE)​ → enhancing descending inhibitory pathways of pain transmission in the spinal cord.

​Pharmacologic Pearl:​ The M1 metabolite is 6 times more potent as an analgesic and has 20 times greater affinity for mu-receptors than the parent drug. Dogs produce very little of the M1 metabolite compared to cats and humans, which explains why tramadol's opioid-mediated efficacy in dogs is often erratic and heavily reliant on its serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibition. Naloxone only partially antagonizes tramadol's analgesic effects.

安全性・警告

禁忌

  • Hypersensitivity to tramadol or other opioids
  • Combination products containing acetaminophen (e.g., Ultracet) are STRICTLY CONTRAINDICATED in cats
  • Concurrent use with MAOIs (e.g., selegiline, amitraz) due to risk of serotonin syndrome
  • Patients with a history of epilepsy or seizure disorders

有害事象

  • Dogs: Excessive sedation, agitation, anxiety, tremor, dizziness
  • Dogs: Inappetence, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea
  • Cats: Dysphoria, mydriasis, dose avoidance (unpalatability)
  • Humans: Pruritus (approx. 10%)
  • Injectable form: Respiratory and cardiac depression
  • Sedation (especially at high doses in dogs)
  • Dysphoria (more likely in cats)
  • Nausea
  • Behavioral changes
  • Increased risk of seizures

注意事項

​Important Warnings:​

  • ​Seizure Risk:​ Use with caution in animals with preexisting seizure disorders or those receiving drugs that lower the seizure threshold. Tramadol has caused seizures in humans.
  • ​CNS/Respiratory Depression:​ Use cautiously with other CNS or respiratory depressants.
  • ​Geriatric/Debilitated Patients:​ Use with caution; dosage adjustments may be needed for patients with impaired renal or hepatic function.
  • ​Dependence & Withdrawal:​ Physical dependence can occur; withdraw gradually after chronic use.
  • ​Formulation Warning:​ Extended-release tablets must not be broken, crushed, or chewed, as this can lead to rapid absorption and toxicity. Dogs do not absorb ER tablets well.

医薬品相互作用

Digoxin

Rarely linked to digoxin toxicity in humans.

MAO Inhibitors (amitraz, selegiline)

Potential for fatal serotonin syndrome; concurrent use should be avoided.

Ondansetron

May reduce the effectiveness of both drugs.

Quinidine

May increase tramadol concentrations and decrease M1 (active metabolite) concentrations.

SAMe (S-adenosylmethionine)

Theoretically could cause additive serotonergic effects.

Sevoflurane

Pretreatment with tramadol reduced MAC values by approximately 30% in dogs and 40% in cats.

SSRI Antidepressants (fluoxetine, sertraline, paroxetine)

Can inhibit the metabolism of tramadol to its active metabolites, decreasing efficacy and increasing the risk of toxicity (serotonin syndrome, seizures).

Tricyclic Antidepressants (clomipramine, amitriptyline)

Increased risk for seizures; amitriptyline may inhibit tramadol metabolism.

Warfarin

Increased PT and INR reported in humans (relatively rare).

AmitriptylineMajor

Increased risk of serotonin syndrome

SelegilineMajor

Increased risk of serotonin syndrome

SSRIs (e.g., Fluoxetine)Major

Increased risk of serotonin syndrome

FentanylMajor

Increased risk of serotonin syndrome

PethidineMajor

Increased risk of serotonin syndrome

BuprenorphineMajor

Increased risk of serotonin syndrome

NSAIDs

Safe and synergistic multimodal analgesia

Gabapentin

監視

  • Clinical efficacy (pain scoring, mobility, comfort levels)
  • Adverse effects (excessive sedation, GI upset, dysphoria, agitation)
  • Pain scores to assess efficacy
  • Signs of sedation or dysphoria
  • Signs of serotonin syndrome (hyperthermia, hypertension, agitation, tremors)
  • Seizure activity in susceptible individuals

薬物動態

半減期

2.5 - 3.18 hours (parent); 4.5 - 4.8 hours (M1 metabolite)2-10 hours (adults); ~2 hours (foals); ~4 hours (M1 metabolite)1.7 hours (parent); ~2 hours (M1 metabolite)

吸収

Dogs: PO bioavailability ~65% (significant interpatient variability); Rectal ~10%. Cats: PO bioavailability ~60% (high interpatient variability). Horses: PO bioavailability ~14% (adults), 53% (neonatal foals), 20% (weaned foals).

分布

Dogs: Vd ~3.8 L/kg. Cats: Vd ~2 L/kg.

代謝

Extensively metabolized via several hepatic pathways. The active metabolite O-desmethyltramadol (M1) has potent agonist activity but is a minor metabolite in dogs. Cats produce more of the M1 metabolite.

消失

Dogs: Total body clearance ~55 mL/kg/min. Cats: Clearance ~12 mL/min/kg.

過剰投与

Acute oral overdoses may cause either CNS depressive signs or serotonin syndrome.

  • ​Clinical Signs:​ Lethargy, mydriasis, ataxia, and vomiting are most common. Stimulatory signs such as tachycardia, tremors, vocalization, agitation, and seizures may also occur. Cats frequently show mydriasis, hypersalivation, and tachycardia.
  • ​Treatment:​ Primarily supportive (maintaining respiration, treating seizures with benzodiazepines or barbiturates).
  • ​Important:​ Naloxone may NOT be useful in tramadol overdoses. It only partially reverses effects and may actually increase the risk of seizures. Cyproheptadine and phenothiazines can be used to treat stimulatory signs (serotonin syndrome).

飼主向け情報

飼い主様へ:

  • ​投与方法:​ 食事と一緒でも、空腹時でも投与できます。空腹時に薬を飲んで嘔吐した場合は、次回から少量のおやつや食事と一緒に与えてみてください。
  • ​味:​ この薬は非常に苦味があります。特に猫は、過剰によだれを垂らしたり、薬を飲むのを嫌がったりすることがあります。徐放錠を砕いたり割ったりしないでください。
  • ​行動の変化:​ 覚醒状態に変化が生じる可能性があります。ペットが異常に眠そうにしたり、逆に不安そうにしたり、落ち着きがなくなったり、よく鳴くようになったりする(特に猫)ことがあります。これらの症状がひどい場合は、獣医師にご相談ください。
  • ​忍耐が必要です:​ 関節炎などの慢性疾患の場合、完全な鎮痛効果が見られるまでに最大2週間の継続的な投与が必要になることがあります。
  • ​安全上の警告:​ お子様や他のペットの手の届かないところに保管してください。トラマドールとアセトアミノフェン(Ultracetなど)が配合された人間用の薬は、アセトアミノフェンが猫にとって非常に有毒であり、多くの場合致命的となるため、​絶対に​ペットに与えないでください。
