Co codamol and Afib

[Julia7]

You’ve guessed it....can I take Co-codamol with Afib? I’m on Bisoprolol.

As I already answered in your orginal post, codeine should be fine as I take it for arthritis when it is very bad. Parcetemol and codeine (co -codamol ) should be fine but do respect the max permitted amount of paracetemol in any 24 hours.

Yes ,I’ve been taking it for years with no issues for arthritis and it does not affect my AF at all ,

Same for me.....been taking it for years for arthritis

[George22]

Codine was prescribed by GP for wife who has PAF and on Bisoprolol. She had a series of bad migraines. She interleaved the codeine with paracetamol to keep the pain relief relatively constant.

I take Paracetamol with opium powder which I think must be similar when my hip pain is really bad. No problems with it. Opiates can cause constipation but having had a bowel resection this does not affect me!

[Truckerclark in reply to Auriculaire]

Yes that’s the same as me cause constipation sometimes but eat things that help relive that and it’s ok
