I'm looking at my bottle right now and it says, "this medication contains acetaminophen. Taking more acetaminophen than recommended may cause serious liver problems".

Yes, that was my understanding, too...that why I was wondering where the previous poster got their information about acetaminophen in both forms (tramadol/Ultram and tramadol with APAP/Ultracet). Thanks for the clarification!
Do you have a problem with stomach pain/nausea with your med? Have you found any way to minimize that?
Take care,
Donna
