Yes: These are different medications with different modes of action and can be taken together or one shortly after the other if needed.

Possible migraine : Migraine like headache can be caused by a bone spur in the nose. A ct scan of the sinuses is indicated and if the spur is present a septoplasty to remove it is indicated. I provide relief to almost 90% of patients with this problem. Visit my website for more information at www. Kevinsmithmd.Com.

Yes: Yes you can take them together. One drug on the market, treximet, is very similar to that combination.
