Can I use both Diclofenac (tablet) and Voltaren (gel) safely at the same time for back pain? ## No, they both contain the same active ingredient, Diclofenac, so you should only use one or the other. The FDA warns that these gels could cause side effects, such as skin redness, irritation. flaking, burning, and headache. How much has your doctor told you to use?

Tell me how to safely dispose of Voltaren gel. ## Hello, Emma! How are you? Typically, the FDA instructs you to mix it with some undesirable substance, such as used coffee grounds or used kitty litter, place it into a sealed container and dispose of it with your regular trash. However, that may not be feasible, since this is a gel, thus the next best thing would be to take it to a local pharmacy and let them dispose of it for you. There should be no charge and most places are happy to do so. Is there anything else I can help with?

EVEPRIM ROSE SOFTGEL ## what are the side and good effects of taking eveprim rose softgel ## This is an over the counter supplement containing Evening Primrose Oil. These types of supplements are touted to help with many types of conditions, however, this is unproven. There are also no thorough studies done, like there are with prescription medications, on the possible side effects of their use. Thus there are no proven benefits and the possible side effects are unknown.

Hi, I have a badly sprained ankle, and after 2 days my doctor has prescribed a course of Difene to take down the swelling & help with the pain. I know I can't take ibuprofen tablets (like Nurofen), but can I still use a ibuprofen 5% w/w gel overnight? Thanks Charlotte
