ABSTRACT
Introduction: Tramadol, an opioid medication used to treat moderate-moderately severe pain. The most common adverse effects of tramadol include nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and headache. The aim of study to investigate the effects of toxic doses of tramadol on liver, heart and brain of rats by utilizing diverse duration of exposure and to assess the concentration of tramadol in each of the above mentioned organs. Method: Thirty-five (35) adult Wistar Albino male rats; their age range (3-5) Months, weighing 200-250g were utilized in this study. They were obtained from the Animal House of the College of Pharmacy/Baghdad University. The animals were randomly allocated into five groups (7 animals each) as follows: (14 rats) and sub-divided into two sub-divisions: A- Rats IP injected with (0.5ml /250gm body weight) normal saline administered. B- Rats received twice-daily toxic dose (54mg/kg) tramadol for 8 days. Results: rats IP injected twice daily there were non-significant differences (P>0.05) in serum levels of -tumour necrosis factor-alpha, -nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells, -interleukin-10, -interleukin-1beta, -creatine kinase-MB, -aspartate aminotransferase, -alkaline phosphatase, and -aldehyde dehydrogenase, while, serum activity level of alanine aminotransferase enzyme activity was significantly decreased (P
