Brief Answer:
risk of dizziness and drowsiness

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

Di antalvic is a combination of acetaminophen and the opioid propoxyphene.

In terms of possible interactions between this drug and the depakote- this is an increased risk of dizziness and drowsiness.

This is because both opioids and the anti epileptic depakote are associated with these possible side effects, the combination may be associated with an increased frequency of this effects in some persons.

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions

Brief Answer:
stronger nsaids available

Detailed Answer:
HI

If the combination of cataflam and panadol is working for you then you can continue these medications.

If they are not effective then you may want to consider stronger NSAIDS such as celebrex or arcoxia. These would require a prescription.

If getting a prescription is difficult then you may want to try aleve which sometimes works better than cataflam in some.

Please feel free to ask anything else
