Pregnancy, breast-feeding and fertility:
Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking any medicine.
Nurofen Plus should not be taken during the last 3 months of pregnancy, as it can cause major heart, lung and kidney disorders in the fetus. If it is used at the end of pregnancy, it can cause a bleeding tendency in both the mother and the child, and it decreases the strength of uterine contractions, delaying the onset of labor.
Treatment during the first 6 months of pregnancy will only be recommended by your doctor if absolutely necessary. Ibuprofen can make it more difficult to get pregnant. You should tell your doctor if you are planning to become pregnant or if you have problems becoming pregnant.
Do not take codeine while breastfeeding. Codeine and morphine pass into breast milk.

Driving vehicles and using machines:
This medicine may cause dizziness, drowsiness or blurred vision. You must not drive or operate machinery if you are affected.
