I am 42 years old. I am taking treatment for disc herniation at l4 l5 and disc bulge at l5 s1 with ligamentum flavum and facet arthropathy. My doctor prescribed medications like pregabalin etc. With diclofenac 50 mg and paracetamol 325 mg 2 times a day. I took it for 15 days, now he again gave me same for 30 days. Can I reduce the dose to 1 pill a day, as it has potential side effects?
