Question: can diclofenac and ibuprofen be taken together?
Answer: It's safe to take diclofenac with paracetamol or codeine. Do not take diclofenac with similar painkillers - like aspirin, ibuprofen or naproxen - without talking to a doctor. Diclofenac, aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen all belong to the same group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
