Drug Interaction Report

Before taking choline salicylate, tell your doctor if you also use divalproex sodium. You may need dose adjustments or special tests in order to safely take both medications together. Small single doses of choline salicylate are unlikely to cause significant effects. However, if you take choline salicylate over a prolonged period of time you may need your divalproex sodium levels checked. You should notify your doctor if you have symptoms of fever, weakness, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, or stomach pain. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Alcohol can increase the nervous system side effects of divalproex sodium such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also experience impairment in thinking and judgment. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with divalproex sodium. Do not use more than the recommended dose of divalproex sodium, and avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medication affects you. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns.
