Following analgesic combination should be avoided ?
Correct answer: D. Ibuprofen and DIclofenac
- A. Aspirin and Codeine
- B. Paracetamol and Dextropropoxyphene
- C. Ibuprofen and Paracetamol
- D. Ibuprofen and DIclofenac
Explanation
Ibuprofen and diclofenac are both NSAIDs, so combining them duplicates cyclooxygenase inhibition without providing proportional benefit and increases gastrointestinal and renal toxicity. The other combinations are established or potentially acceptable analgesic combinations.
