Posso prendere Co-codamol e Naproxen insieme?

Perché succede

These medicines work in different ways to target pain. Naproxen is an anti-inflammatory (NSAID) that reduces swelling and pain at the source, while co-codamol (a mix of paracetamol and codeine) works on the central nervous system to change how your body feels and responds to pain. They do not interfere with how the body absorbs or breaks down one another.

It is generally safe to take these together if prescribed by a healthcare professional. Ensure you do not exceed the maximum daily dose of co-codamol, and do not take any other paracetamol-containing products (like Lemsip or certain cold cures). To protect your stomach, always take naproxen with or after food. If you experience any stomach pain or dark, tarry stools, stop taking naproxen and contact your doctor.

Sovradosaggio di paracetamolo

Co-codamol contiene paracetamolo. Non assumerlo con altri prodotti contenenti paracetamolo (come rimedi per il raffreddore e l'influenza), poiché ciò può causare danni fatali al fegato.

Dipendenza da oppioidi e astinenza

Il co-codamol contiene codeina, che può causare dipendenza se usato per più di 3 giorni. Interrompere improvvisamente dopo un uso prolungato può causare sintomi di astinenza.

Asthma and breathing difficulties

Non assumere co-codamol se hai asma grave o problemi respiratori, poiché la codeina può rallentare pericolosamente la tua respirazione.

Do not take naproxen if you have asthma that is worsened by aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), as it can trigger a severe or life-threatening asthma attack.

Ulcere gastriche o sanguinamento

Naproxen significantly increases the risk of stomach ulcers and internal bleeding. Seek immediate medical help if you vomit blood or pass black, tarry stools.

Gravidanza (terzo trimestre)

Do not take naproxen if you are more than 20 weeks pregnant, as it can cause serious heart or kidney problems in the unborn baby and reduce amniotic fluid levels.

Alcol

You must avoid drinking alcohol while taking co-codamol. Combining alcohol with codeine increases the risk of serious side effects, such as extreme sleepiness, breathing difficulties, and loss of consciousness. Additionally, both alcohol and paracetamol can affect the liver; combining them regularly increases the risk of liver damage. Drinking alcohol while taking naproxen can increase the risk of irritation to your stomach lining and may increase the risk of stomach ulcers or bleeding.

Caffeina

Alcune versioni di co-codamol contengono già caffeina. Se consumi ulteriore caffeina da caffè, tè o bevande energetiche, potresti sentirti tremante, ansioso o avere un battito cardiaco accelerato.

Cibo (Generale)

You should take naproxen with or just after a meal or a snack. This helps to protect your stomach lining and reduces the chance of indigestion or stomach pain.
