Cocodamol

Can I take pregablin,cocodamol and ibuprofen together ## Hello, Kell! How are you? I didn't find any interactions or problems listed between these medications, but it's always best to double check to be sure. The FDA classifies Cocogamol as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach irritation. Pregabalin may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, mood swings and weight gain. Is there anything else I can help with?

Hi after suffering yet again with severe sciatica from an l4-l5 bulging disc and the cocodamol and diclofenac not wiorking even at the max prescribed doseage and a fortune spent at chiropractor, my doctor prescribed gabapentin. I'm on my 3 rd night of just 300mg and apart from continuing the diclofenac and a much lower doseof cocodamol 1-2 times per day I can actually walk again and am no longer permanently hunched over. My question is that the doctor said to increase these over several days to 3 per day but surely if I feel fine ion this dose I shouldn't need to. I have finally been able to do some small physio exercises which I hope will help more so that I can come off everything all together and after reading lots about this drug I'm averse to staying on it for too long ...

Hi - I was taking Codeine for a number of years for severe pain, i was told i was suffering with osteoarthritis and eight Cocodamol a day did not touch the pain, whilst i was taking Codeine i was angry and little did i know my BP was very high, it was only when my BP was taken that i found out my BP was touching 200/ to cut a long story short after seeing a Neurologist and having tests it was discovered that my pain was being caused by Hereditary Motor Sensory Peripheral Neuropathy, i was taken of Codeine and put on Lyrica and Tramadol, my pain is now controlled i am no longer angry and my BP has been normal ever-since. So the story is this if you are taking any medication containing Codeine and are suffering with HIGH BP it may well be Codeine, so mention this to your doc. Warm Regards...

I have been on 15 mcgs patches for 5 weeks and they don't seem to work anymore. I have a vascular leg ulcer which is taking ages to heal but the breakthrough pain is horrendous. I'm getting no sleep at all. My GP took me off tramadol and codeine to try these but the pain is unbearable. I've tried cocodamol (over the counter dosage) and naproxen but it doesn't help at all. ## Unfortunately, this medication does not work for everyone to alleviate pain. The U.S. FDA does warn that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. Have you ever tried any other more potent opiates, such as Oxycodone or Morphine? ## I was taken off tramadol and OxyCodone and put on these patches. They told m...

for hip pain

My workplace is starting random drug testing. I am on prescribed drugs (naproxen 500mg and paracetamol 500mg; sometimes cocodamol 30/500). What will the outcome be when given a urine drug test, when these meds are taken together?
