Sprained Tibia, Diclofenac Prescribed For Swelling And Pain, HIV+ Taking "Complera". Any Issues Using This Combination?
Recently involved in a car wreck that left me with a sprained tibia. General Family Practice doctor prescribed me "Diclofenac" to help with the pain and swelling. I am HIV+ and I take the combination prescription "Complera"(emtricitabine/rilpivirine/tenofovir) every day. Should I be concerned about this combination.
Thank you

Hello
Thanks for the query
There are no known interactions between these two drugs however I would advice you to take a safer profile analgesic like tramadol for the pain instead of diclo as it is known to cause nephropathy and severe gastritis. Please speak to your orthopedician regarding my suggestion
I hope I was of help
