Brief Answer:
Can be used without problems.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thank you for using HCM to post your health query.
I read carefully your question and I understand your concern.

There is no interaction between the two medicines in the creams.
You can use them without a problem together.

To relive the pain though, would be better if you use an oral painkiller like Ibuprofen 400mg or any stronger one if your doctor has prescribed.

Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Otherwise please close and rate the answer.

Regards,
Dr. Papaqako
