    Yeah, it has panadiene(sp) and coedine in it so you have to wait for hours because panadol also has panadeine. You can use neurophen before the 4 hours is up because it has a different active ingredient.

    I'm pretty sure the chemist at the corner of Maroondah Hwy and Springvale Rd is open until midnight...

    Because they both contain paracetamol they can't be given within 4 hours of each other, preferably 6 hours - no more than 4 doses in 24 hours. Ibuprofen (eg neurofen) is different so can be given regardless of when the paracetamol was given.

    Poo to pain but I find the night time pain stop amazing! I hate giving nurofen. Hope the four hours is up quickly so bubs can be pain free. Hugs to you and hope you aren't in for a rough night!
