Hi,
It is not safe to take combiflam or vovern while on warfarin. Taking combiflam or voveran while on warfarin may increase the risk of bleeding hence these drugs should not be taken together. Ask you doctor to prescribe alternative that does not interact with warfarin such as paracetamol which can be effective for your backache.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
