  • Use of alcohol within 24 hours of day -1 until the end of the study; and grapefruit, grapefruit-related citrus fruits (e.g., Seville oranges, pomelos), or grapefruit juice or grapefruit-related juices, or other medication, within 7 days of study drug administration and until the end of the study
  • History of previous anaphylaxis, severe allergic reaction to Tramadol, codeine, or other opioid drugs
  • Use of monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors (including linezolid), Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors, Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors, and prescription or over-the counter (OTC) medications known to induce or inhibit drug metabolism, including cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6), and other drugs that may affect the serotonergic neurotransmitter systems including, but not limited to, triptans, dextromethorphan, tricyclic antidepressants, bupropion, lithium, tramadol, dietary supplements such as tryptophan and St. John's Wort, and antipsychotics or other dopamine antagonists.
