Q: Is Vicodin Okay Before Having a Cardiac Catheterization?

Hi,

i'm scheduled thursday for a cardiological catheterization and I take vicodin-es four times a day for a back injury recently sustained (bad timing, to be sure).

Is being on vicodin before/while going through this procedure dangerous? I know certain drugs are dangerous prior to this procedure, I just don't know which ones are (and if pain medication is something to be gravely concerned about).

I greatly appreciate your reply(ies)!

Thank you.
