Sciatic Back Pain
UpdatedCan I take Olfen-retard together with Norgesik? If so, how much of BOTH can I take daily? Please answer me promptly as the sciatic pain is unbearable. Thanks.

Hello, Vivian! How are you?
No, they should not be taken together, since both contain nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, so you'd be essentially doubling up, which, as listed by the U.S. FDA, may increase the risk of stomach damage, ulceration, liver damage and the risk of bleeding.
It would be best to stick with one, or the other, as directed by your doctor.
Is there anything else I can help with?
