I had a replacement aortic valve 17 years ago and take warfarin and statins daily. Have low vitamin D and IBS - problems with wheat and dairy. Have now got plantar fasciitis and last week had a root canal tooth redrilled leaving me in agony - swollen jaw, extreme pain up to my ear and down my neck. Am having two lots of antibiotics and co-codamol. It would be good if I could take an anti inflammatory as having ibuprofen really really helped (took 2 when in agony). Am worried about the effect the drugs are having on my INR. Does anyone know what I could take instead of ibuprofen?

You should not take ibuprofen when on Warafin as it will affect your INR, if it were me I would speak to a pharmacist or your Doctor, if you are concerned about your INR you could ask for an earlier test
Hope you feel better soon
normal co- codamol contains 8 mg of codine ,proscription co-codamol contains 28 mg of codine,see your doc
ps I had a aortic valve replacement 43 years ago,it is the only pain killer you can take
What about acetaminophen/Tylenol extra strength?
Acetaminophen is all I know of, sorry
Paracetamol, APAP I found on computer.
Hmmm, call your care provider and tell them of your discomfort and ask them to do something else for it. Best of luck! I never heard of co-codamol!
