Hi everyone

Just wondered about the above. Feeling a bit under the weather, headache, sore throat, temp etc. When I saw my rheumy last time she prescribed diclofenic for flare ups. Not sure if just got a virus, or having a flare as symptoms very similar. Have not taken the diclofenic before, but was just wondering if you can take them with paracetomal or not.

I know someone will know the answer.

Thanks

    I agree with averyniceman and his GP but if you have any doubt in your mind just phone your local pharmacy and the pharmacist will advise you :D

    again as above yes u can.i had to check this with chemist.
    diclofenic is anti-inflmmatory so its safe with paracatamol.
    ibruprofen is anti-inflammatory too dont use that with diclo,i nearly made that mistake,needing a pain killer.always best to check whats compatable or not. hope that helps. debs

    I know I'm just repeating what everyone else has said but you can take them both together! :lol:
    A couple of weeks ago, I was prescribed both diclofenac and paracetamol as i'm in mucho pain at the moment :x ..... I questioned this with my GP at the time and she assured me that as they do different "jobs" they are fine to take together. :D
