Can I take 3.75 and Voltarol joint back pain relief % together?

Why this happens

Both drugs can affect the central nervous system, leading to increased sleepiness. Additionally, Voltarol (an NSAID) can sometimes affect kidney function, which may slow down how quickly the body clears Zopiclone, although this is less common with the gel form than with tablets.

Use these together with caution. Since Voltarol Joint & Back Pain Relief is a gel applied to the skin, less medicine reaches your bloodstream than if you took a pill, making a serious interaction less likely. However, you should still be careful. Do not drive or operate machinery until you are certain you do not feel overly drowsy. It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol, as it will significantly worsen the drowsiness caused by Zopiclone.
