Can I use Voltaren gel on the skin beneath my eyebrows and possibly on my eyelids for inflammation I have there due to Sjogren's Syndrome? ## Hello, Shira! How are you?

Can I take Tylenol pm 3 hrs after taking Voltaren? I was at the ER and have an abscessed tooth and took the Voltaren pill as prescribed, but still hurt and cannot sleep. ## Tylenol PM is not as strong, so it is doubtful that it will help more than the Voltaren. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Voltaren as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach irritation, and increased risk of bleeding. Have you consulted your dentist, yet? Generally, an antibiotic is also required for such an infection. ## In addition to Verwon's response, I wanted to answer your question re: "Can I take Tylenol pm 3 hrs after taking Voltaren?" According to the University of Maryland Medical Center (umm.edu / drug interaction tool), there are no interactions listed between Tylenol ...

My voltaren gel expired 7/13. Is it still safe to use? ## Hello, Phyllis! How are you? It doesn't get dangerous after it expires, but it will likely no longer be effective.

Voltaren gel is a topical NSAID that's used to treat pain and swelling. Side effects to topical use are usually limited to skin reddening and irritation.

I just put voltaren gel (about one inch) on my friend and he also had ibuprofen 400mg; what is the likelihood that this will cause an adverse reaction? ## The risks aren't very high, since the not much of the topical gel is absorbed, but if he starts to get severe stomach pain, or vomiting blood, he should seek medical attention, according to the NIH. Have they both been prescribed for him? Other side effects may include headache, skin irritation, redness, and dryness.

Hi, i used voltaren extra strength this morning on my shoulder and neck area and am wondering if i can take an advil or tylenol now (the pain and stiffness of this area is still present and i have a crawling baby at home who needs me at all times)?

My husband has had 5 way bypass. What are the dangers of Voltaren Aleve or heart medication if he take it at the same time ## Can you post back with the specific heart medications? I can't check any information on them, without knowing what they are, because there are many on the market. As to the Aleve and Voltaren, no, they should not be used t the same time. Aleve contains Naproxen and Voltaren contains Diclofenac and these are both nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories that are used to treat the same conditions, so it is essentially doubling up on the medication. Using them both at the same time will seriously increase the risk of some side effects, such as nausea, stomach irritation, ulcers and gastritis.

Does Voltaren contain gabapentin? My bottle says 50 Gm NP Gel. It says under it Diclofenac NA+Dextromethorphan+Gabapentin+Amitriptylyne+Nifedipine: 4 percent.

Found it voltaren delayed-release-75mg but what is it for. ## Hello, Sugg! How are you? There are actually 2 tablets with this marking and both are pink, so which one it is depends on the specific details of the marking.
