Lentogesic contains the active ingredients Paracetamol and Dextropropoxyphene.

What you experienced could be a reaction to having taken so many, in one day. That was a very high dosage to take in 24 hours.

You should also be informed that in most countries, any medication containing a derivative of Propoxyphene has been removed from the market, because it can cause severe cardiac side effects.

Are there any other questions or comments?
