Answer 2

Hi, sorry your GF is poorly. I am a bit concerned about her past history of gastritis. If she has had an ulcer in the past or has regular indigestion, this medication may bring on gastric side effects. The way to prevent this would be to make sure she takes it on a full stomach i.e with food. If you are unable to see a doctor again, another option would be to buy some ranitidine over the counter-this will protect the stomach while she is taking this medication. I would suggest that she stops the medication if despite this, she gets any indigestion. As for other painkillers, diclofenac does NOT contain paractemol. It is perfectly safe to take paractemol with it. However, if the pain is bad, it may be better to buy cocodamol over the counter. This has codeine as well as paracetemol and is stronger than paractemol alone. Try getting some heat rubs and gently massaging the back(not one's with anti-inflammatories-she is already taking some by mouth i.e diclofenac). Ask her to avoid bed rest but keep as mobile as possible and avoid the cold-this may trigger a muscle spasm in the back. If the pain is no better-she may require stronger analgesia from a doctor...hope this helps P.S- just read one of the other answers...You should NOT take ibuprufen with diclofenac-they are both anti-inflammatories and in view of her past gastritis,this would be dangerous. I am a bit worried about some of the responses which are inaccurate and misleading, I think it's best that you see a doctor about these problems rather than seeking advice here to avoid problems, all the best :-)
