Does Cocodamol Tablets Affect Chances Of Fertility?

Hi I have been taking cocodamol for about 4 years. I have never taken more than 8 in a day and in the last year I have cut down by loads. In the month I have taken about 8 cocodamol and in the last week 0. I would like to have a baby and I have been trying for a year but I have not got pregnant yet. Could the amount of cocodamol I have been taking affect my chances of fertility?

Hello
COCODAMOL i.e. codeine + paracetamol 10+500 mg . As you mentioned that you are taking cocodamol from last 4 years but now has reduced the quantity .
Since one years trying for to get pregnancy but in vain.
The side effects of these two ( in combination ) drugs are as nausea, vomiting , constipation , dry mouth , sweating, skin rashes ( blood dyscrasia rare).
SPECIAL PRECAUTION ==Pregnancy and lactation beside others.
Codeine is a habit forming drug causing addiction and develop drug dependence .
But this don't interfere in conception . You are trying for pregnancy , so in my opinion consult an INFERTILITY specialist and get his opinion.
Good luck.
