Hi,
I appreciate your concern and I want to assure you there is hardly any need to worry.
Aceteminophen and diclofenac can be taken together. Both are usually safe if taken together with meals.The only point I'd like to make is that long term use can cause gastritis so that will have to be taken care off.
I hope it helps.
Thanks,
Dr,Prabhas Verma
