Here's what FDA-approved drug labeling shows.

SEVERE

Interaction Found

Taking oxycodone and tramadol together can be dangerous. Both drugs affect how your brain handles a chemical called serotonin. When combined, they can cause serotonin syndrome (confusion, rapid heartbeat, muscle rigidity) or opioid toxicity (trouble breathing, loss of consciousness).

What to do: Tell your doctor immediately if you take both medications. Do not stop either drug on your own. Your doctor may adjust your doses or switch you to safer alternatives.
