this is one for the professionals! Us normals can’t advice on medication .

Your doctor’s group of surgeries employs one or more pharmacists, or should do, so have a word with them, through your doc’s receptionist. Otherwise, your dispensing pharmacist.

Hi I’m on those meds and I suggest you speak to your pharmacist. I was told I cannot take certain cough meds, but I have honey lemon and ginger, which is what I take nowif I get a cold and just ride the storm.

Good evening , as the other members have advised I would seek clarification from your GP however I am currently taking Flecainide and Bisoprolol and i have been advised Not to take Ibuprofen and if i need any pain killers it has to be Paracetamol.
