Hi Corey,

 

I can't find any significant known interactions between these two medications, BUT you need to ask your doctor this question. There are factors to be considered in addition to possible interactions between these two medications -- any health issues/conditions you may have, and ALL other medications you are taking including prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, dietary supplements, etc.

 

Imitrex is an abortive medication that stops the Migrainous process, while Vicodin is a narcotic pain reliever.  

 

I hope this helps,

Nancy
