This product should not be used with the following medications because very serious (possibly fatal) interactions may occur:

• MAO inhibitors (such as furazolidone, isocarboxazid, linezolid, moclobemide, phenelzine, procarbazine, rasagiline, selegiline, tranylcypromine)

Avoid taking MAO inhibitors within 2 weeks before, during, and after treatment with this product.

If you are currently using any of these medications listed above, tell your doctor or pharmacist before starting tramadol/acetaminophen.

Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all prescription and nonprescription/herbal products you may use, especially of:

• "blood thinners" (such as warfarin)

Before using this product, report the use of other drugs that increase serotonin, such as dextromethorphan, lithium, St. John's wort, sibutramine, street drugs such as MDMA/"ecstasy," tryptophan, certain antidepressants including SSRIs (such as citalopram, paroxetine) and SNRIs (such as duloxetine, venlafaxine), "triptans" used to treat migraine headaches (such as eletriptan, sumatriptan), among others. The risk of serotonin syndrome may be more likely when you start or increase the dose of these medications.

Also report the use of drugs which might increase seizure risk when combined with tramadol including isoniazid (INH), phenothiazines (such as thioridazine), theophylline, or tricyclic antidepressants (such as amitriptyline), among others. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for details.

Other medications can affect the removal of tramadol from your body, which may affect how tramadol works or increase the risk of side effects. These drugs include quinidine, azole antifungals (such as ketoconazole), macrolide antibiotics (such as erythromycin), rifamycins (such as rifabutin), drugs used to treat seizures (such as carbamazepine, phenytoin), and St. John's wort.
