When the standard regimen needs to be adapted.

Paracetamol with adjusted daily limit

For acute nociceptive pain, paracetamol is the first choice for frail older people if appropriate. Check body weight, nutritional status, alcohol use, liver function and paracetamol from other products. If risk factors are present, use the daily limit based on risk factors.

NSAID or opioid

Use caution in frail patients and those at increased gastrointestinal, renal or cardiovascular risk. Before prescribing tramadol , check renal and hepatic function, age and interactions, among other factors.

Prescription options

Before prescribing, determine the daily limit based on risk factors and monitor product information, weight, renal and hepatic function.
