A member asked:
Can we use oral and topical nsaids together?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Would be careful: Although technically topical nsaids should not be absorbed, there is a possibility that some of them can get into the blood from the skin. So, if you take both oral and topical nsaids at same time, you can get side effects. So, would be careful.
