i took one biofu on my first month of pregnancy,will it affect my baby? ## Hi, Che! Congrats on the pregnancy. How are you doing? If you are concerned, then the best thing you can do is consult your doctor. If it was just one dose, the risks aren't severely high, but it's best to have things checked out to be certain. It can be very difficult to say what may affect a developing fetus.

Need help finding the ndc for this prescription and others. Can anyone help? ## Alaxan FR contains Ibuprofen (200mg) + Paracetamol (325mg). I'm not sure if the following NDC (National Drug Code) for this tablet is correct, but it is the only thing I can find on the tablet: Z20023035 The distributor who had this NDC posted is actually under investigation for one reason or another and their site cannot be fully accessed at this time. Because of that, getting verification from them isn't possible. Do you have a way to verify if this code is correct? If I had to guess I wouldn't think this pill is manufactured in the U.S., due to the lack of available information.

Is it safe to drink at the same time? ## Hello, Jerlit! How are you? No, it is not! They both are listed as containing Paracetamol and taking too much of it in a day or in any 8 hour period can result in overdose toxicity, which may be fatal. If you have a cold or flu, the BioFlu should be enough to help, if your doctor approves of your taking. The U.S. FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and stomach pain. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hi Jerlit, fact of the matter is Paracetamol (which is the main ingredient for both medicines) is generally safe even to pregnant women - Bioflu contains 500mg of it while Alaxan contains 325mg. Other ingredients are Phenylephrine HCl and chlorphenamine maleate (for Bioflu) and Ibuprofen (for...

I take alaxan at 7pm because my body is in pain.. But then i realized its because i have a flu.. So i decided to take bioflu at 12am. Is it ok? ## Hi yes that's perfectly fine. Alaxan is paracetamol and Ibuprofen - Bioflu contains Paracetamol as well used to treat pain and fever and is known to be generally safe even for pregnant women. ## I have done this in the past and I'm still alive! I recently had my annual physical and my results are good. I'm 40. If body ache calls for relief and Alaxan will provide just that, then that's fine. It's not like you're popping one pill after another. And the fact that there's a 5hr interval was good enough, if your symptoms call for it. Often, with health issues you need to weigh the pros and cons as you listen to your bo...

I've just accidentally taken in expired alaxan fr. today to relieve the pain of dysmenorrhea.What should i do..? The expiration is this month july 2016? ## Is Alaxan a good medicine for pain in any part of the body or muscle pain? ## Alaxan FR is listed as containing Ibuprofen, and Paracetamol, it is used to treat pain, fever, and swelling. Neither of these medications become dangerous upon expiration. Some medications that have been expired for awhile may lose some efficacy, so it is always best to double check with your doctor, or pharmacist, as in many instances, it would be better to obtain a new supply, rather than doubling up. However, no, taking one dose that just expired recently is not dangerous. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Ibuprofen, and Paracetamol as possib...

My friend took Bioflu and Alaxan (Ibuprofen + Paracetamol) at the same time. The result was severe allergies on her whole body and face... Also caused dizziness, headache and loss of taste. What can she do about it and how many days will it take for the allergies to be gone? Please give us some advice. ## Bioflu contains Chlorpheniramine and Paracetamol, and Alaxan contains Ibuprofen and Paracetamol, so they should not be taken together, it can be very dangerous if someone takes too much Paracetamol, the NIH guidelines warns that no one should exceed 1,000mgs of it in any 8 hour period, and no more than 3,000mgs in any 24 hour period.

I want to know that what excipients are used in alaxan fr ## Hi Thinzar, From what I could gather Alaxan FR contains Ibuprofen (200mg) + Paracetamol (325mg); a combination indicated for use in treating mild to moderate levels of pain. Unfortunately I can't seem to locate any specific details pertaining to the inactive ingredients found in these tablets. However, I believe that type of information is usually listed on the packaging itself. If I had to guess I wouldn't think this product is manufactured in the U.S., due to the lack of available information on it. If this is something you can pick up at your local pharmacy, you might want to double check with them as well. Does anyone else have more info on these tablets?

i`m suffering hbp. can i take tuseran forte and alaxan fast relief ## Tuseran Forte contains Dextromethorphan, Acetaminophen/Paracetamol and Phenylephrine. There is a warning that it may elevate blood pressure, so it is probably not advisable to use it, without first consulting with your doctor. Alaxan FR contains Acetaminophen/Paracetamol and Ibuprofen, used to treat pain, fever and swelling. The problem with this one is that the Ibuprofen can cause your body to retain fluids, which can be dangerous when your blood pressure is high. Have you tried consulting your doctor on what you can safely use? ## What kind of contraceptive pill can a breastfeeding mother use..

I have allergic rhinitis and headache I took bioflu ...then my clogged nose are gone but the next day i have severe headache and dizziness and I feel I want to blow. .then I took alaxan and took a nap and my headache is gone ## Hello, Katya! How are you feeling? All medications carry the risk of possibly causing side effects, even BioFlu, especially with the Phenylephrine in it, it is known to cause nausea, dizziness, headache and insomnia. But there is also a chance that your sinus issue caused the headache, since that can also cause them. But both BioFlu and Alaxan contain Paracetamol, so please be careful doubling up as taking too much of it could be dangerous. Its side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach irritation. Are there any other questions or concerns?
