Can i do this?
Ive been getting very bad pains around my shoulder blade for the past few days not sure why, But it hurts. So I’m just wondering if i can take Pain relief tablets while I’m taking the Contraceptive pill.

You can certainly take paracetamol whilst taking the pill but if you continue to have the pain for any longer than a week you should see your doctor. It could just be that you’ve slept a bit funny or your shoulder is sore from lifting something in the wrong way (most Mummas don’t stop and think which way is the correct way to be lifting things – we just do it then pay the price for a few days)
Always make sure you tell your pharmacist/doctor of all medication your taking if they want to give you something else though, there are a few different medications that can lessen the effects of the pill. I’m not sure you want to be having number 4 quite this soon!!
Try a hot water bottle or heat pack on your shoulder too or an ointment like deep heat – wear rubber/latex gloves when applying it, then throw them away, then you can be sure you don’t get it in your eyes or on the childrens skin!
Good Luck lola’kins!! xx
Yes you can take both; the two pills are not contraindicated.
there is no reason why you cant take painkillers with the pill.
Heya,
Yes you can take paracetamol whilst taking the pill, the two pills are not coordinated so it wouldnt effect the pill at all. What i would advise though is pop down to your local chemist and ask if its ok if you cant get to chemist go and see your local doctor in order to put your mind at rest.
Hope i helped – May i wish you the best of luck with your little one
