Hello, greetings from HCM
I read your query regarding pain killers.
Ibuprofen is commonly used as a pain killers.
It has been assigned as ''
Pregnancy risk category'' by US FDA.
It is category D in third trimester of pregnancy. That means there is enough evidence that it is harmful for babies if taken during third trimester.
Though no clearcut data are available regarding effect of ibuprofen during rest of pregnancy, it is advisable not to use ibuprofen during pregnancy.
Now regarding the other medicine Adcodol.
Adcodolcontains the following ingredients:
Paracetamol 450 mg
Codeine Phosphate 10 mg
Caffeine 45 mg
Doxylamine Succinate 5 mg
All of these medicine have to be checked individually.
Paracetamol is almost safe during pregnancy.
Studies have shown that Codeine this can cause problems for the baby. If too much is used it can also cause
withdrawal symptoms.
Caffeine has been shown to cause birth defects in large doses, typically low and normal doses are considered acceptable.
Finally, Doxylamine is considered safe in the use of pregnancy.
One or two doses of Ibuprofen and adcodol are safe. But do not take in more amount.
Based on the above information, I cannot recommend the use Ibuprofen or Adco-dol while you are pregnant.
Hope this finds helpful to you.
Good luck!
