i am taking the oral contraceptive femodene and now also tramadol pain killers for back pain, can tramadol have any effect on the way the oral contraceptive works?

no, tramadol should have no affect on oral contraceptives.Tramadol (brand name Ultram) is a pain medication.Here's what I foundFEMODENE 28 and other medicines Some medicines may stop FEMODENE 28 from working properly. These include medicines used for the treatment of epilepsy (e.g. primidone, phenytoin, barbiturates, carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, topiramate and felbamate); tuberculosis (e.g. rifampicin and rifabutin) and HIV infections (e.g. ritonavir and nevirapine); antibiotics (e.g. penicillins, tetracyclines and griseofulvin) for some other infectious diseases; and the herbal remedy St. John's wort (primarily used for the treatment of depressive moods).The Pill may also interfere with the working of other medicines (e.g. medicines containing cyclosporin or the anti-epileptic lamotrigine).Please inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines or herbal products, even those not prescribed.Always tell the doctor who prescribes FEMODENE 28 which medicines you are already using. Also tell any other doctor or dentist who prescribes another medicine (or the dispensing pharmacist) that you use FEMODENE 28. They can tell you if you need to take additional contraceptive precautions and if so, for how long.
