Can my girl friend take ibuprofen and pandol when trying to for a baby regulary, as she has bad ciatica.

I would say no but the best thing to do is speak to her Dr and they can let her know exactly what she can and cannot take.  there are some things that she'll be able to take (paracetamol is the only one I know), but always best to check with the Dr.

good luck!

i would say no aswell. just paracetamol. good luck

i was told that acetaminophen, which i believe in europe is known as paracetamol, is okay for taking before and during pregnancy.  my sister was told, late in her third, that acetamin. was okay to take (she had a bad sinus cold).

everything in moderation, but i would agree with flee, as with everything you should check with your dr.

as a nurse i can tell you that taking ir when trying to conceive should cause any problems but ibruprofen when actually pregnant is a no no. when preg paracetamol is the only over the counter drug thats safe really!

Hi

im currently taking ibruprofen for a inflammed disk in my back, my gp prescribed this even tho im trying for baby number 2, he said its fine to take whilst ttc and also fine to take for the first 6 months of pregnancy as long as the benefits outway the risks.

Its always best to check with gp first.
