Cons of Nurofen Plus (Codeine) 12.8mg:

1. Risk of dependence: Codeine, an opioid, can be habit-forming and lead to dependence with prolonged or misuse. Regular or long-term use of Nurofen Plus can increase the risk of developing a physical or psychological dependence on codeine, especially if used at higher doses or for an extended period.
2. Side effects: Like all medications, Nurofen Plus can cause side effects. Common side effects may include drowsiness, dizziness, constipation, nausea, vomiting, and stomach upset. Codeine can also cause respiratory depression, especially when used in higher doses or in combination with other respiratory depressant medications, which can be dangerous, especially in certain populations such as elderly individuals, children, or those with respiratory conditions.
3. Drug interactions: Nurofen Plus can interact with other medications, including other opioids, sedatives, and alcohol, which can increase the risk of side effects such as respiratory depression, sedation, and other adverse effects. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are taking, including over-the-counter medications and supplements, to avoid potential drug interactions.
