Can you take diclofenac and Ibuprofen together?

Answer 1

Diclofenac and ibuprofen are both in a class of drugs called NSAIDs or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Since they are in the same class, they should not be taken at the same time as the combined dosage may be over the recommended limit.

Answer 2

Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory used to treat pain and inflammation that is associated with Arthritis. Tylenol is a medication that contains acetaminophen used to treat minor aches and pain. There are no listed interactions between these two medications.

Talk to your doctor . Recommended doses of NSAID preparaations , naturally are conservative , and assume a typical response.

The answer is that with a Doctor taking professional responsibility for the decision, yes you can. But without talking to your Doc. , I wouldn't , even though the risk is probbly very small for most people.

Netdoctor says you shouldn't take tablets containing diclofenac at the same time as using Voltarol gel as they contain the same ingredient, and could increase side effects.
