Applies to: tramadol and Patanase (olopatadine nasal)
Using olopatadine nasal together with traMADol may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, difficulty concentrating, and impaired motor coordination. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with these medications. Also avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medications affect you. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Food/lifestyle interactions
Major food/lifestyle interactions
Major:
traMADol Food/Lifestyle
Applies to: tramadol
Do not use alcohol or medications that contain alcohol while you are receiving treatment with traMADol. This may increase nervous system side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, lightheadedness, difficulty concentrating, and impairment in thinking and judgment. In severe cases, low blood pressure, respiratory distress, fainting, coma, or even death may occur. You should also avoid consuming grapefruit and grapefruit juice, as this may increase the blood levels and effects of traMADol. If you are taking an extended-release formulation, the pill should be swallowed whole (i.E., do not crush, chew, or divide the pill). Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions on how to take this or other medications you are prescribed. Do not exceed the dose of traMADol prescribed for you or use the medication more frequently or for a longer duration than prescribed by your doctor. Also avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medication affects you. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medication without first talking to your doctor.

Disease interactions
33 potential interactions Applies to: 26 conditions, including Depression, Hypotension, Psychosis, Pseudotumor Cerebri, and Head Injury.
Alcoholism
Major:
tramadol
traMADol has a major potential interaction with Alcoholism.
The CNS depressant effects of tramadol may be additive with those of alcohol and may lead to profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma, and death. Therapy with tramadol should be administered cautiously (and only when alternative treatment options are inadequate) in patients who might be prone to acute alcohol intake. Dosages and durations should be limited to the minimum required and patients should be monitored for signs and symptoms of respiratory depression and sedation. Prescribing naloxone for the emergency treatment of opioid overdose should be considered; naloxone will reverse some, but not all, symptoms caused by overdosage with tramadol, but it also increases the risk of seizures.
Major:
tramadol
traMADol has a major potential interaction with Alcoholism.
Tramadol exposes patients and other users to the risks of addiction, abuse, and misuse. Each patient's risk should be assessed before prescribing tramadol, and all patients should be monitored regularly for development of such behaviors and conditions. Risks are increased in patients with personal or family history of substance abuse (including drug or alcohol abuse or addiction) or mental illness (e.g., major depression); the potential for such risks should not prevent proper pain management in any given patient. Patients at increased risk may be prescribed tramadol, but use in such patients requires intensive counseling about the risks and proper use of tramadol, as well as intensive monitoring for signs of addiction, abuse, and misuse; prescribing naloxone for the emergency treatment of opioid overdose should be considered.
Opioids are sought by drug abusers and patients with addiction disorders and are subject to criminal diversion. These risks should be considered when prescribing or dispensing tramadol. Strategies to reduce such risks include prescribing the smallest appropriate quantity and advising the patient about proper disposal of unused drug.
Moderate:
Patanase
The olopatadine nasal in Patanase has a moderate potential interaction with Alcoholism.
Concurrent use of olopatadine nasal spray with alcohol or other central nervous system depressants should be avoided as additional reductions in alertness and additional impairment of the central nervous system performance may occur.
Moderate:
tramadol
traMADol has a moderate potential interaction with Alcoholism.
Tramadol should not be prescribed for patients who are suicidal or addiction-prone. The use of nonnarcotic analgesics should be considered for patients who are suicidal or depressed. Tramadol should be prescribed with caution for patients with history of misuse and/or are currently taking CNS-active drugs, antidepressant drugs, alcohol in excess, and patients who suffer from emotional disturbance or depression. Patients should be advised not to exceed the recommended dose and to limit their intake of alcohol.
Moderate:
tramadol
traMADol has a moderate potential interaction with Alcoholism.
Seizures have been reported in patients receiving tramadol within the recommended dosage range. The risk appears to increase with doses above the recommended range and with concomitant use of certain drugs (e.g., those that reduce the seizure threshold). Risk of seizure may also increase in patients with epilepsy, those with a history of seizures, or in patients with a recognized risk for seizure (e.g., head trauma, metabolic disorders, alcohol and drug withdrawal, CNS infections). In tramadol overdose, naloxone administration may increase the risk of seizures.
Altered Consciousness
Major:
tramadol
traMADol has a major potential interaction with Altered Consciousness.
Tramadol is contraindicated in patients with significant respiratory depression. Serious, life-threatening, or fatal respiratory depression may occur with tramadol. Patients should be monitored closely for respiratory depression, especially within the first 24 to 72 hours of initiating therapy and after a dosage increase.
The use of tramadol in patients with acute or severe bronchial asthma in an unmonitored setting or without resuscitative equipment is contraindicated. Tramadol-treated patients with significant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or cor pulmonale, and those with substantially decreased respiratory reserve, hypoxia, hypercapnia, or preexisting respiratory depression are at increased risk of decreased respiratory drive (including apnea), even at recommended dosages of tramadol. In patients who may be susceptible to the intracranial effects of carbon dioxide (CO2) retention (e.g., those with evidence of increased intracranial pressure or brain tumors), tramadol may reduce respiratory drive, and the resulting CO2 retention can further increase intracranial pressure; these patients should be monitored for signs of sedation and respiratory depression, especially when starting tramadol.
Life-threatening respiratory depression is more likely to occur in elderly, cachectic, or debilitated patients as they may have altered pharmacokinetics (or altered clearance) compared to younger, healthier patients. These patients should be monitored closely, especially when starting and titrating tramadol and when coadministering with other drugs that depress respiration; alternatively, the use of nonopioid analgesics should be considered.
Asphyxia
Major:
