Had Back Pain, Given Tramadol Injection, Voltaren Pessary. Also Given Tramadol Tablet, Diclofenac. Remaining Dose Of Pessary?
Hi I went to ER yesterdayand was given an injection of tramadol and a voltaren pessary for excutiating back pain. The gave me a script for tramadol 50 mg and diclofenac 75mg.
I still have one pessary of voltaren, but I'm guessing I should not be using that as it's the same drug (50mg diclofenac), or should I use the pessary at bedtime?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pessary of voltaren need not be used since you have now got a prescription for tramadol tablet and diclofenac. If the pain relief is not adequate then consider taking a muscle relaxant.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Praveen-Tayal
