As far as I know it is okay to take anti-inflammatory medication with paracetamol, because they act in different ways!.
If you do decide to take both, then try and take them separately e!.g!. if you took the Difene 3 hours ago, take paracetamol now and then the Difene when it's next due - so you have some pain coverage all the time!. If you take them both together they will wear off at the same time - if that makes sense!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

With something like that it should be fine as long as its not something too strong like co-codamol and i'd see how it goes with just the one paracetamol, the anti-inflamatory probably has a low level pain killer but an extra paracetamol shouldn't hurt!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
