If you check the patient information leaflets with either, or both, medications, you will see that they both belong to the family of drugs called NSAID's. That is Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs. They reduce pain and inflammation in the same way and therefore do not need, nor should they be, taken together. If you do, you are at a much higher risk of stomach upset or worse, ulceration and bleeding.

Voltaren and ibuprofen, both being of the NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) class, should not be taken together. Often drugs of the same class will compete for the same biological pathway, basically cancelling each other out (thus decreasing the pain-relieving effects) and increasing the side effects.

No!! they are in the same drug family ( NSAID's) so the effect would be pretty much the same as doubling up on the voltarin, it could cause stomach ulcers, kidney problems, and possibly temporary high blood pressure

Paracetamol and the pain killer Voltarol taken together should be advised by a doctor or another health care professional such as a pharmacist.
