About

Serotonergic Drugs: Combining Tramadol with medications that affect serotonin levels (such as SSRIs, SNRIs, or MAOIs) can increase the risk of serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition.

Central Nervous System (CNS) Depressants: The concomitant use of Tramadol with other CNS depressants (like benzodiazepines, alcohol, or sedatives) can enhance CNS depression, leading to respiratory distress or severe sedation.

Anticoagulants: Tramadol may enhance the anticoagulant effect of drugs like warfarin, requiring close monitoring of INR levels.
