Drug Interactions to Be Aware Of:

• Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs) — serious and potentially life-threatening interaction; do not use together or within 14 days of stopping MAOIs
• Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) and SNRIs — increased risk of serotonin syndrome (e.g., fluoxetine, sertraline, venlafaxine)
• Other opioid analgesics or narcotic pain medicines — increased risk of respiratory depression and CNS depression
• Benzodiazepines and sedatives (e.g., diazepam, alprazolam) — enhanced sedation and risk of respiratory depression

• CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 inhibitors or inducers — may alter Tramadol blood levels (e.g., ketoconazole, rifampicin, erythromycin)
