    Can't answer on the cold and flu tablets, but codeine and paracetamol ARE ok.

    Thing with synarel is that if it can't contact the mucus membranes in your nose, it won't work. I had the problem that synarel caused major stuffiness and so I had to use lucrin instead. I have a sneaking suspicion the clinic will say no, so definitely best to wait until you hear from them.

    Updating-
    The clinic did indeed say no- due to the cold and flu tablets actions on the mucous membranes they can therefore interfere with the Synarel's absorption.
    And the second way you were right BW, was that I can only have paracetamol and codeine for my cold. On the plus side, I was down-regged and am now jabbing (eek!)
    Extrapolating from the recent info about sensitivity to rhinoviruses being oestrogen dependent- perhaps Synarel's suppression of oestrogen will increase the likelihood of getting colds. Unreal!
