Dosage info
Standard Adult Pain Dose: Individualise treatment based on pain severity, patient response, prior analgesic treatment, and vulnerability to addiction, abuse, and misuse:

Next dose: 50, 75, or 100 mg orally every 4–6 hours to maintain analgesia and acceptable side effects.

-Watch for respiratory depression in the first 24–72 hours and with each dose increase.
Reserve use for patients who have not tolerated, or are not expected to tolerate, non-opioid analgesics or opioid combination products, or have not provided adequate analgesia due to the risks of addiction, abuse, and misuse, even at recommended doses.
Standard Adult Chronic Pain Dosage
Individualise therapy by considering risk, analgesic treatment history, therapeutic response, and pain severity.
Addiction risk factors
Stop all tapentadol and tramadol drugs before starting extended-release tablets.
Complex-release tablets:

Missed doses—what happens?
Since tapentadol treats pain, you won’t forget a dose. Skip the missed dose if your next dose is due. If you miss a dose, don’t double up.

Drugstores and community health centres sell naloxone. Make sure your carers know where and how to administer naloxone.
