AboutNigel Simmons Expertise I am happy to answer general questions on medicines and hospital care. If possible, please use approved / chemical names rather than brands which are not internationally recognised.
Like all health professionals I am bound by a duty of care which prevents me giving detailed information about medication or treatment of people other than the questioner.
I will endeavour to help wherever possible or point towards more appropriate advice. If however your question crosses too far into patient confidentiality, I hope you will understand why I cannot answer your question.
Consider.. would you want me to discuss your care with a friend or relative without your knowledge?

Is Dolaren , Diclofenac together with Carisoprodol and if it is what is the maximum dose that I can use from each one?

Answer Pat
Dolaren is not available in the UK, so I cannot be 100% precise in my comments. If you are still concerned, please discuss the matter with your doctor or local pharmacy.
From what I can determine, Dolaren is a combination of Carisoprodol 200mg + Diclofenac 50mg.
Under UK licensing the maximum dose of Carisoprodol is 1050mg (3 x 350mg) per day. Diclofenac has a maximum of 150mg.
As Dolaren is a fixed dose combination, the maximum dose has to be based on which product would become toxic first. In this case, it is Diclofenac as more than three Dolaren would exceed the daily maximum.
So, I would not recommend more than three Dolaren per day, taken over three doses.
