Can you take co-codamol and diclofenac together?

Answer 1

yes you can as diclofenac is not paracetamol based. Although take care as they are both stong painkillers in their own right

Addendum: Dicoflenac is an anti-inflammatory, not an analgesic (painkiller). However, the reduction of inflammation will usually reduce pain.

Answer 2

I recently fractured a rib and my doctor subscribed me Co-Drydamol and Diclofenac. Codrydamol 2pills every 4 hours, for the pain (and to knock me out apparently) and Diclofenac one pill every 8 hours for the inflammation I would obviously check with your doctor before mixing these but in my experience there have been no side affects from the combination Diclofenac is also supposed to give you mild diarrhea which should help cancel the constipation effects of the codeine, this is not the case - its like sh*tting concrete with bits of glass in......enjoy!
