Hello, Kate! How are you? I'm very sorry that you're sick!

Yes, you can do that, as long as your doctor approves. They are both nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, so you can usually just switch smoothly from one to the other upon the next dosing time.

The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation.

Is there anything else I can help with?
