HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

There is only minor interaction between these two drugs. Levetiracetam can cause decreased levels of the acetaminophen aspect of vicodin by increasing the rate at which it is broken down.

This is the only interaction of concern.

You can safely use them together.

I hope this helps
