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?

Dolaren: Diclofenaco, Carisoprodol(Codeine, Soma)
Formula:
Cada gragea contiene:
Diclofenco sodico...........0.050 g
Carisoprodol................0.200 g
With regards to Soma, I would not recommend more than 800 mg in one day - four doses. (ever hear of respiratory failure) (yes, you may be born with an unreal tolerance handling upwards of 1200 mg - like if you played tuba in HS Marching Band)
With regards to Codeine, Do not consume more than 150 mg on first day. Never titrate up or down more than 50 mg in a single day, or suffer the rath of addiction. The liver and kidneys can accept up to 400 mg in a single day, but I implore against it.
Do Not Contact ME

Dolaren (Diclofenaco, Carisoprodol)
Diclofenaco is NOT Codeine!! It is an NSAID...non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug.
