Question 1

can you take excedrin with diclofenac potassium?

Accepted Answer

5 types of Excedrine: Some Excedrins (Extra Strength, PM, and Migraine) contain 250mg of aspirin per pill whereas others (Tension and Mild) do not.  Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory  (NSAID) and I would advise caution if you were to take both Excedrin (ES, PM, or Migraine) and Diclofenac at high doses or if you have a history of kidney problems.

Question 2

is diclofenac 75mg safe to take?

Accepted Answer

Not my favorite: There is a moderate amount of GI risk. If you believe the studies suggesting increased cardiac risk from nsaids, diclofenac is shown to have one of the highest risks.

Question 3

do i have to take all of my diclofenac?

Accepted Answer

Only if you want to : Only if you want to feel better. Your doctor prescribed an amount he felt best for you.

Question 4

can i take diclofenac for toothaches?

Accepted Answer

I suppose: You could but there are many analgesics far more effective.  Consult your dentist to get the problem addressed.  Hope this helps.

Question 5

should i take excedrin for toothaches?

Accepted Answer

Pain relief: Sure! however, unless you treat the problem it will only give you temporary relief. See you dentist.

Question 6

can i take excedrin if i have glaucoma?

Accepted Answer

If YouCanSeeThePills: Sure! But you shouldn't have glaucoma if you take Excedrin :)   There is scant evidence of an association, let alone a causal relationship. In fact it is recommended for headache in one Glaucoma Journal! Of course, being the tender age that you are, be sure to take it in moderation and check to see if it interacts with any other medications you are taking. And get regular eye exams and all that...

Question 7

can i take flexeral and diclofenac together?

Accepted Answer

Yes: No interaction between the 2 drugs, different mechanisms as flexeril is a muscle relaxant and diclofenac an NSIAID or non steroidal antiinflammatory. Precautions still apply as they have different side effect profiles and use should be limited in dose and time.

Question 8

can i take excedrin while im taking feverfew?

Accepted Answer

How Much Excedrin?: A more important issue is how ofter you take the excedrin. You may be causing rebound headaches which in many ways are more difficult to treat than migraine. Feverfew is a popular herb that seems to prevent migraine.I am not aware of any major interactions as does st. John's wort, for example. It is probably more important to limit your Excedrin than worry about the feverfew interactions.

Question 9

can you take diclofenac and lunesta together?

Accepted Answer

No prob.: Diclofenac is an anti-inflammatory medication. Lunesta is a sleep medication. They can be taken together.

Question 10

is it safe to take 3 excedrin tablets in one day?

Accepted Answer

Not recommended: While 3 tablets would probably be unlikely to cause adverse effects in most people, the maximum recommended dose is 2 caps per day.

If I were looking for additional pain relief, I'd probably reach for additional aspirin before taking anything with more acetaminophen, as this ingredient of excedrin can cause serious liver damage in higher doses.
