Can you take codeine with diclofenac and paracetamol?

Answer 1

Yes. Codeine is an opiate analgesic, where as diclofenac is an anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen or aspirin. Generally speaking, painkillers from different groups don't interact. Double check any other drugs with a doctor or pharmacist, but in this case I'm 100% positive that the two don't interact.

Answer 2

Yes! I've been to the doctors for stronger pain relief because of the shattered bones in my back and herniated disc, and they said to take codeine, diclofenac, and paracetamol at the same time to get the most significant results. You can take them all at once because they are in different 'catagories' and so shouldn't give you horrible side effects/stomach ulcers etc.

Hope that helps.

Answer 3

Diclofenac is a completely different drug than codeine.

Diclofenac is an NSAID while codeine is an opioid (yes in the likes of heroin.)

There exists some things such as Cumbaren (EU) where the same pill contains BOTH diclofenac and Codeine.

Answer 4

Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Codeine is an opiate pain killer. Neither one contains Tylenol (acetaminophen/paracetamol), but you should still be very careful mixing pain medications.

Answer 5
