Your doctor or pharmacist may already be aware of any possible drug interactions and may be monitoring you for them. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicine before checking with them first.

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

• MAO inhibitors (e.g., furazolidone, isocarboxazid, linezolid, moclobemide, phenelzine, procarbazine, rasagiline, selegiline, tranylcypromine)

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

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

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

• carbamazepine
• SNRI antidepressants (e.g., venlafaxine, duloxetine)
• SSRI antidepressants (e.g., fluoxetine, paroxetine)
• sibutramine

Check the labels on all your medicines (e.g., cough-and-cold products) because they may contain ingredients that cause drowsiness. Ask your pharmacist about using those products safely.
