Things to consider before taking drug Ultracet:

You should not take this medication if you are allergic to acetaminophen or tramadol, if you are intoxicated (drunk), or if you have recently used any of the following drugs:

  • alcohol;

  • narcotic pain medicine;

  • sedatives or tranquilizers (such as Valium);

  • medicine for depression or anxiety;
