This report displays the potential drug interactions for the following 2 drugs:
- tramadol
- Vanamine PD (diphenhydramine)
Interactions between your drugs
diphenhydrAMINE traMADol
Applies to: Vanamine PD (diphenhydramine) and tramadol
MONITOR: Coadministration of opioids with anticholinergic agents may result in additive central nervous system (CNS), gastrointestinal, and genitourinary effects. The risk and/or severity of adverse effects such as sedation, dizziness, confusion, cognitive and psychomotor impairment, dry mouth, constipation, and urinary retention may increase. Severe constipation may lead to paralytic ileus in some cases.
MANAGEMENT: Caution and close monitoring of central nervous system, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary adverse effects are recommended when opioids are used with anticholinergic agents. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities.

Drug and food interactions
traMADol food
Applies to: tramadol
GENERALLY AVOID: Alcohol may potentiate some of the pharmacologic effects of CNS-active agents. Use in combination may result in additive central nervous system depression and/or impairment of judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills.
MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving CNS-active agents should be warned of this interaction and advised to avoid or limit consumption of alcohol. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring complete mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities.

diphenhydrAMINE food
Applies to: Vanamine PD (diphenhydramine)
GENERALLY AVOID: Use of anticholinergic agents with alcohol may result in sufficient impairment of attention so as to render driving and operating machinery more hazardous. In addition, the potential for abuse may be increased with the combination. The mechanism of interaction is not established but may involve additive depressant effects on the central nervous system. No effect of oral propantheline or atropine on blood alcohol levels was observed in healthy volunteers when administered before ingestion of a standard ethanol load. However, one study found impairment of attention in subjects given atropine 0.5 mg or glycopyrrolate 1 mg in combination with alcohol.
MANAGEMENT: Alcohol should generally be avoided during therapy with anticholinergic agents. Patients should be counseled to avoid activities requiring mental alertness until they know how these agents affect them.
