[QUOTE="cineman, post: 1957819, member: 183709"] Hi, sorry for confusing title. I have recently been put on 40mg Gliclazide daily. I see in the notes, that I cannot take aspirin or Ibuprofen while on them. This is awkward, as I have bad arthritic pain in my hips (as well as other places), that is threatening to stop me performing many daily tasks, including walking! Ibuprofen is one of the best things for this, only now I seemingly cannot take it anymore. I am also on 15/500 x2 Co-Codamol, which doesn't seem to do anything, even when taken regularly.
