Question: Co-codomal tablets, am I ok to take them.?
It says on the leaflet "With medicines used to treat diarrhoea, such as Loperamide, there is a risk of severe constipation" ....Yesterday morning I took a diarrhoea tablet with Loperamide in it, am I ok to take the tablet because it was over 24 hours ago (even though the diarrhoea tablets constipated me for a while)Health Question & Answer
Answers:
You should be fine.. There's a small amount of codeine in co-codamol which can cause constipation but in normal doses it should be fine, certainly less severe than the constiopation tablets.. I doubt you'd even notice..Health Question & Answer
Co-codamol contains codiene which yes makes you constipated!!!! So yes you will be ok to take it but will be a bit constipated for the next few days.. Try a laxative like ex-lax, which is natural senna in a chocolate bar.. You only need one square.. The cramp in your abdomen probably was from constipation..

Yeah i would say you will be fine now, prolonged and or excessive use of codeine can make you constipated, so if your not a long term user the effects should be minimal.. (friend takes for a back prob)Health Question & Answer
yes, 24 hrs is ok.. Health Question & Answer
