Hi,
Nucynta CR contains tapendadol, an opioid analgesic.
Both, ralivia and ultram contain tramadol, another opioid analgesic of the same group of tapendadol.
Perhaps your doctor would have preferred to have a more potent effect of these opioid analgesic as he/she has prescribed them both. To my opinion, if I was your caring doctor, would re-vise your current treatment and set another potent analgesic instead of taking ultram with ralivia.
Hope it was of help!
