Can you take Advil and voltaren together?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

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