Nurofen Plus should not be taken in the last 3 months of pregnancy, as it can cause major heart, lung and kidney problems in the baby. If used late in pregnancy, it can cause bleeding in both mother and baby and reduce the strength of uterine contractions, delaying the onset of labour.
Treatment during the first 6 months of pregnancy will only be recommended by your doctor if absolutely necessary. Ibuprofen may make it more difficult to get pregnant. You should tell your doctor if you are planning to get pregnant or if you have problems getting pregnant.
Do not take codeine while breast-feeding. Codeine and morphine pass into breast milk.
