What Are The Side Effects Of Voltaren And Aleve?
Question: Are the side effects of Voltaren The same as for Aleve?
Brief Answer:
YES, they are very similar!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
The most feared side effects of these medications is abdominal pain as they can cause stomach ulcers. Other than that, nausea and vomiting are the next most common. The side effects are very similar and these drugs can be used interchangeably. However, using voltarene gel means that most of these symptoms would not be felt as the drug is only applied locally. The symptoms are common and a concern for drugs taken orally.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
