It is ok if Sasha has her Tramadol a couple hours earlier than normal. It is sometimes prescribed for use every 6 hours. The main side effect from dosing more frequently is sedation, and possible constipation. If you see these then it is a good idea to skip the next dose rather than dose too early.
