Question 1

is it ok to drink alcohol if you use voltaren (diclofenac) emulgel?

Accepted Answer

Yes: This is not like taking voltaren (diclofenac) or another non steroidal by mouth, so should not be a problem.  But remember to drink in moderation in any case.

Question 2

what's your opinion on using tylenol when starting oral diclofenac sodium until it's reached full effect and only occasionally or lightly afterward. i know that might be hard on the liver, but i never drink alcohol. maybe keep labs checked?

Accepted Answer

: Diclofenac is an effective nonsteroidal antiinflammatory medication. It can be very effective for mild to moderate pain. If you start the medicine and use Tylenol as an additional pain reliever, it may help the pain but it also may make it more difficult to determine which medicine actually is helping your pain. Using the 2 medicines together for a short time would not be a big problem.

Question 3

are z-paks dangerous? and can i drink alcohol while taking?

Accepted Answer

?: No medicine is 100% safe. In fact, tylenol (acetaminophen) is probably in the top 3 medicines causing severe health problems and hospitalizations. Z-paks are used for specific types of infection. An infection is far more dangerous than a Z-pak. So you use it when needed. You should not drink alcohol when taking any antibiotic, including a z-pak.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Zpack/alcohol: Not good idea. Can have more stomach irritation & headaches.
