A member asked:

Can you take excedrin with diclofenac potassium?

Dr. W. james Chon answered

Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

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.
