Taking two NSAIDs together is generally not recommended without the guidance of a healthcare provider because it can increase the risk of side effects and potential complications.
Both Voltaren and ibuprofen work in similar ways, and combining them can amplify these risks.
They can evaluate your condition and recommend the best treatment plan, which may involve adjusting the dosage or switching to a different medication. In some cases, they might suggest combining an NSAID with other pain-relieving medications or therapies to achieve better pain management with a reduced risk of side effects.
Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding medication use and avoid self-medicating with multiple medications without professional guidance. If you have any concerns or questions about taking Voltaren, ibuprofen, or any other medication, speak to your doctor or pharmacist for appropriate advice.
