Drug Interactions between Migrex and pneumococcal 20-valent conjugate vaccine
This report displays the potential drug interactions for the following 2 drugs:
- Migrex (acetaminophen/dichloralphenazone/isometheptene mucate)
- pneumococcal 20-valent conjugate vaccine
Interactions between your drugs
acetaminophen pneumococcal 20-valent conjugate vaccine
Applies to: Migrex (acetaminophen / dichloralphenazone / isometheptene mucate) and pneumococcal 20-valent conjugate vaccine
MONITOR: Acetaminophen (paracetamol) may reduce the immune response to pneumococcal vaccines in infants. A postmarketing clinical study using a vaccination schedule of 2, 3, 4, and 12 months of age suggests that acetaminophen administered at the same time or within the same day of vaccination may reduce the antibody response to the pneumococcal 13-valent conjugate vaccine after the infant series compared to controls that did not receive prophylactic acetaminophen. Responses to the booster (fourth) dose administered at 12 months were not affected. The clinical significance of this interaction is unclear.
MANAGEMENT: Caution is recommended if prophylactic acetaminophen is used concurrently or within the same day of infant pneumococcal vaccination.

Drug and food interactions
acetaminophen food
Applies to: Migrex (acetaminophen / dichloralphenazone / isometheptene mucate)
GENERALLY AVOID: Chronic, excessive consumption of alcohol may increase the risk of acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity, which has included rare cases of fatal hepatitis and frank hepatic failure requiring liver transplantation. The proposed mechanism is induction of hepatic microsomal enzymes during chronic alcohol use, which may result in accelerated metabolism of acetaminophen and increased production of potentially hepatotoxic metabolites.
MANAGEMENT: In general, chronic alcoholics should avoid regular or excessive use of acetaminophen. Alternative analgesic/antipyretic therapy may be appropriate in patients who consume three or more alcoholic drinks per day. However, if acetaminophen is used, these patients should be cautioned not to exceed the recommended dosage (maximum 4 g/day in adults and children 12 years of age or older).

dichloralphenazone food
Applies to: Migrex (acetaminophen / dichloralphenazone / isometheptene mucate)
GENERALLY AVOID: Alcohol may potentiate some of the pharmacologic effects of CNS-active agents. Use in combination may result in additive central nervous system depression and/or impairment of judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills.
MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving CNS-active agents should be warned of this interaction and advised to avoid or limit consumption of alcohol. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring complete mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities.
