Clarification of dose of tramadol with paracetamol in BNF and BNF for Children

In light of a range of strengths now being available for combination tramadol-paracetamol preparations, the dose in BNF and BNF for Children has been updated in digital products.

The previous dose, expressed as tablets was not appropriate for the highest strength preparation (tramadol 75mg and paracetamol 650mg). The dosing has therefore been updated to express the dose in milligrams.

The new dosing has now been published in the tramadol with paracetamol monograph in digital versions of the BNF Publications.
