Hi,

I have just been through this myself about 6 wks ago. I got really sick with the flu and was in hospital, i also had a lung infection and fluid on the lung. They gave me panadiene forte to give me some relief from all the coughing as the codeine suppresses coughs. My body was also aching all over so they gave it to me for this also. I cant beleive i wasnt allowed cough medicine but i was allowed panadeine forte!!!!!

So, yes it is fine to take. My baby stayed very active despite having a very tired and relaxed mum. I didnt take the 2 tablets i was meant to take each time though, i only took 1 each time and i only took them for about 2 or 3 days.

I remember being as apprehensive as you though.
