The effects are 'additive' if they just piggy-back on each other, or are 'synergistic' if the effect of both drugs together is greater than the sum of the effects of each of the drugs separately.

What is drug synergism?

Synergism, in reference to drugs, means that one drug, Tylenol for instance, has the usual pain relief effect. Another drug like Oxycodone, also has the usual pain relief effect as well. But when you combine the two drugs you get Percocet, which is much stronger than the individual drugs are. Kinda like saying 1+1=3. When you combine them they have a far greater effect that they would alone.
