Gen Payne

What are the age requirements for this medication? ## Gen Payne contains the active ingredients Ibuprofen, Paracetamol and Codeine, which is a narcotic pain reliever. Since it does contain a narcotic, it would be advisable not to give it to children, unless a doctor has specifically instructed you to do so. And, in the case of elderly people, their body may metabolize the medication differently, so they may require a lower dosage. Side effects may include: nausea, stomach irritation, constipation and dry mouth.

is it safe if you are pregnant? ## Hello, Lillie! How are you? No, one of the active ingredients in this medication is Codeine and it is not considered safe, when you are pregnant. If you require a pain reliever, it would be best to see your doctor to discover what's safe for you to take. The FDA classifies it as a narcotic analgesic, so it carries the risk of being habit forming and could also cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

What is the correct dosage for gen payne capsules? ## How often can I take Gen Payne, I have extreme tooth ache, and will only be able to see the dentist tomorrow. ## I have severe neck pain and have been taking more and more Gen Payne tablets. How many Gen Payne tablets are safe to take at a time? ## Hello Andrew, According to the manufacturer's website the suggested dosage for Gen Payne capsules is 1-2 capsules every 4 hours not to exceed 12 capsules within 24 hours. As this medication is prescription only I strongly suggest that you contact your doctor to ensure that you are taking the dosage that he/she recommends for you as there may be other factors that will determine if the manufacturer's suggested dosage will work best for you. I hope this information helps.

Hi , I drank gen-payne tablets for period pains and my menstruation immediately got lighter. Is this a possible side-effect? ## No, that's not a typical side effect as listed by the FDA. This is 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. Sometimes, however, your period can be lighter or heavier than usual, it can even vary according to times of day and usually nothing to worry about. However, if you're concerned, you should consult your doctor, to be sure. Is there anything else I can help with?

I took 1 Gen Payne as i had a massive headache and after about 10 minutes i started getting massive stomach cramps. This cramps is also into my back. Its like a massive spasma. Can gen payne cause spasma stomach craps thats so severe. Its really painfull. ## Hello, Jen! How are you? I'm sorry about the issues you're experiencing. It can cause a headache, as a side effect, as reported by the FDA, but not normal stomach cramps. However, the Ibuprofen in it can cause stomach irritation and if that's severe or you have an ulceration or gastritis, one of those may be causing the cramping. The FDA warns that this is 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. Have y...

I took just one capsule of the red and green gen-payne and I woke up with a terrible swelling all over my face. My eyes were shut due to swelling around the nose and mouth. Please what is the reason? ## Did you seek medical attention? That could be the symptom of an allergic reaction, according to the NIH, which may require medical treatment. In the future it would be best to avoid taking this medication, again. Please ask your doctor for a safer alternative.

I took Gen Payne for a terrible headache I had. It worked like a charm, but my nose started itching like I am having a hayfever attack. Could this be a side effect or do you think that it might have been hayfever? ## It's definitely not hayfever but probably the codeine in the tablets which caused the itching. Codeine is routinely converted to morphine in the body in order for it to be an effective painkiller. One of the side effects of taking morphine is a horrible but sometimes pleasurable itch. I've been on long term use of morphine and it would always start with my nose itching then my torso and my legs. Hope I could answer your question

How are you? They can be taken together, as long as your doctor approves and such medications are often prescribed together to help manage chronic pain. The FDA classifies Gen Payne 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.

Hi, I need some advice on the prolonged use of Gen payne. Been struggling with TMD and the dentist prescribed genpayne and norflex, so I've been taking the gen payne daily (sometimes twice) for something like 2-3 weeks now I've stopped taking it today and woke up feeling shaky. Will this feeling stop over time or do I have to see a doctor? ## Gen-Payne contains Ibuprofen, Acetaminophen, and Codeine, the latter of which is an opiate, so you may be experiencing some mild withdrawal effects, which is normal if you suddenly stop taking it abruptly. According to FDA reports, you may also experience nausea, rebound pain, dizziness, and headache. ref=" target'=_blank" rel="noopener">Medline Plus Codeine However, if your symptoms become severe, or if you feel you...

I just drank 2 gen-payne capsules and 2 actamol tablets...is that a bad combination? ## Hello, Immy! How are you? Yes, since both medication contain Paracetamol, you should not have taken both. How are you? Did you suffer any adverse effects? Whenever you take it, each dose needs to stay under 1,000mgs at a time and under 3,000mgs for the entire day, otherwise you could risk liver damage or failure.

I have taken a number of times but am now worried looking at the ingredients. Is is really safe?

I've been biten by a snake or spider, according to my doctor. He has given me antibiotics and some pain meds.
