What is this? This is a slow-release pain tablet that contains tramadol. It is used for strong pain that needs constant relief.

What's happening? The 150 mg strength in the small 10-tablet pack is out of stock. The larger packs (30 and 60 tablets) are still available.

Does this affect me? If you take the 150 mg strength and only have the small pack, you may not be able to get more right now.

What should I do? Ask your pharmacist or doctor if another strength or pack size can work for you.
