Nurofen Plus are tablets containing the active ingredients Ibuprofen and Codeine phosphate. Both Ibuprofen and Codeine perfrom different functions in the body. Ibuprofen belongs to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) family. It is used by patients for relieving pain, redness, swelling, soreness and sometimes fever. Whereas Codeine is an opioid analgesic that works in the brain and spinal cord to relieve pain.
Nurofen overdose is not very likely to be fatal if the patient is taken to the doctor in time. Nurofen contains ibuprofen. However, Nurofen overdose may cause stomach acid problems also.
Nurofen Plus relieves strong pain and inflammation associated with migraine headache, tension headache, headache, period pain, dental pain, back pain, neuralgia, rheumatic pain, arthritic pain and muscular pain.
Nurofen Plus is not recommended for use in children under the age of 12 years. Also people who are alelrgic to medicines like Ibuprofen, codeine, aspirin or any other NSAID medicine should not go for Nurofen.
If people who are allergic to it have had a dose of two then they should look for the following symptoms. If they problems related to Asthma, wheezing or shortness of breath, swelling of the face, lips or tongue that may result in causing difficulty in swallowing or breathing, hives, itching or skin rash, and fainting they should consult the doctor immediately.
Nurofen overdose patients should best visit or be taken to the doctor. The sooner the treatment begins the safer and quicker the whole procedure would be. The delay will complicate the problem as once the digestion process begins the treatment is abviously a few levels deeper. Even if it’s not a huge big Nurofen overdose, its still advised that the patient is taken to the doctor. No home remedy, no self-help indulgence.

shit ur hard!..
wait till you get addicted (you prob already are),
ive finally quit and it was the hardest thing ive eva had to go through in my life!
i started taking 15 to get a buzz, six months later i was taking 72 a day on average.
also codiene is from the plant u get herion
thats why it feels so good and is sooooo hard to quit
Hey shane – hopefully you will die & do the world a favor u fuckwad!
he he mm heh
hay beavis – just because you are too much of a dick head to try anything inventive your self it doenst mean you have to condem everyone who does to death…..
this is a real addiction that is very serious and life threatening. those who do not realize how dangerous it is need to get a medical and i recommend they speak to someone who is in a position to help. to those that critisize the addiction i advise you keep your narrow minded judgements to yourself because your opinion is counter productive and you have a bad attitude! It is very easy to become addicted to something, and no one is in a position to pass judgement on another. Please respect your bodies and your minds, and most of all, respect each other.
Nurofen plus addicition nearly cost me my life. Take this very seriously
Ur a proper fool whoever wrote that above me. 24 Nurofen? ahh your just mad you are. The lining of your stomach id say is fucked in plan english. Why would you even write that up on the internet? im sure anyone who reads that just thinks your a basket case. and you saying PEACE at the end? wait and see, if you keep going like that be ‘ rest in PEACE mate’ Goodluck.
In response to Shane’s comment on March 15,
I started just taking 2 or 3, then 6, 10, then like you 24. It ended up me taking 24 Nurofen Plus tablets 2,3 even sometimes 4 times a day. I kept this up for 2 years. While the only physical damage I seem to have suffered is a single stomach ulcer, it took a much higher personal cost – my partner of 8 years left me for instance.
It took me 4 years to reach that peak – and you will too, as codiene is an opiate, just like morphine and heroin,and just as addictive. I’ve detoxed twice and it is hell. I’ve been clean for a few years now – after spending 18 months in a rehab. Don’t be a tool – the sooner you stop the easier it will be. And don’t think it won’t happen to you – like me, you can’t be too bright or very strong willed if you have to resort to swallowing a box of N+ to feel good.
I recently submitted my information and story to the NPSD (fedral governmaent dept comtrolling medications), in june they are going to decide on restricting the use of this product, like they did with sudafed. Hopefully soon you won’t be able to get it without photo ID and each purchase will be recorded on a shared database – that will hopefully spoil your “fun”. It’s not worth it mate, please believe me…just smoke a joint – it may be illeagal, but it’s a lot less damaging!
Re- Shanes comment
Why dont you all just leave the poor guy alone, you dont know any thing about him so dont judge.
tyring to help before he ends up addicted n has to go through detox
detoxing off codiene is like HELL! its hard to explain, imagine a wk of feeling like shiting ur pants n vomiting at the same time, u cant leave ur bed, all ur bones achce, constant headace, u cant eat or drink without chucking it up. And the after about a month the cravings are still hardcore.
codiene is like oral heroin
in one go wot can 12 nurofen plus do to you..Attempted suicide..can it kill you
ive taken five just plain nurofen tablets.
im breathing really fast.
am i okay
i take about 6 tablets of nurofin plus and they make me feel better, i dont know if they physically make me feel better or if it is a psychological effect. but to day i have been asleep all day and i havent taken them. could you really get addicted to them? would i have to go through detox? is it worth taking these tablets? what happens in detox? i also abuse rubittasin that contains dxm.
I m currently taking about 18 n+ a day. I need help, can’t do life without it, makes me sadbut I still function perfectly. But I know it’s not cool. Where do I go foe some help, gp told me to cut down slowly but I have no will power, I have a very full time stressful, haven’t taken leave since 1874 kind of a job, so a detox is gonna be hard, any suggestions?
I really can’t believe this.
I am nursing a man who was taking these for genuine intense knee pain relief.
I am nursing him because he MUST BE in withdrawal. He has been so naseous all week, really incredibly uncomfortable. As he is much older than I am, I am so concerned it might be something else, but after having read this, I really can’t believe it.
He was probably taking a tray or tray and a half a day. Throughout the day though. Not at once.
Judging others sure might not be the most understanding approach.
But, you are a bunch of mindless Fucktards.
Grow up and stop taking your life for granted. People take this drug because they NEED to. It is not about being inventive with ‘what makes you high’. It’s about being inventive with your life, and moving on, so you don’t have to resort to such classless tralier trash escapist behaviour.
you really need to have some respect for the people on this web page. you are a nurse, where is your compassion or empathy? where is your education and how can you be so narrow minded. wealthy people can have addictions too. and you are reinforcing class systems. would you like to be judged by how much money you make, or by your mistakes? these people need support and answers, not the opinion of a very judgemental person.
-sigh-
how many of those would i need to take to die??
i really dont wanna down a bottle of draino.
looks like i gotta save up for some sleeping pills.
you people are fucktards.
I WANT TO DIE …..
Has anyone ever had N+ while being on lithium. I normally take N+ all the time but am hearing from some people that you cant mix the 2 drugs and by others that you can if your careful. If anyone has experience i would love 2 hear abwt it.
I suffer from Bi Polar and started taking Nurofen plus. I sometimes take up to 24, or even more. I am also on Temazepam. It helps me get through the day as I get a buzz from N+, is there anyone know who I could see for help
I’m 14 and I have taken 64 paracetamol (each 500mg) in the past week and 17 nurofen in the last two days. I also slit my wrists and have very little sleep (6 hours tops). Other than the usual pains of life (me existing) I’m fine. WHY CAN’T I JUST DIE? GODDAMN IT! Do I need to go into rehab. cos I really want to die and I am messing with all sorts of stuff (drawing with ink on my slit wrists, taking medicines like paracetamol, nurofen, ibuprofen and some others in overdoses, and I accidentally ingested some battery fluid. If I had access to a gun I would be dead by now.
In response to Zoe, *5-14* i’m also 14 i have fam. in the uk i visit every year. when im there i stock up on N+ i also cut. and done some screwy stuff, like draw on them with sharpie, or even painted a picture with the blood. But since oddly enough May 14th ive stopped everything. Cold Turkey. lucky enough i dont have access to a gun, i hope you do not as well. honestly quitting everything has been one of the hardest things i’ve done. Counseling does help as well as a friend if u have one you could trust with your life such as i do. Dying is not worth it, if you would like my opinion i have no religion, but what if the case is you keep living afterward as a ghost or something, not to sound insane but what if u kill yourself an continue living but now trapped and theres no pills or razors no metal or sharp objects. *People who want to die, really just want to be saved* If it wasn’t for the same two consequences such as the name an date + abuses in common i wouldn’t have commented. I hope greatly that you read this, its not worth it. Theres a thousand reasons to get out but there must be one for you to live.
Zoe, I have just read your comment…I am very glad you do not have access to a gun and I would like to encourage you to talk to someone, perhaps a counsellor. Your gp can refer you to one for free if money is an issue… You are not meant to die just yet that’s why you are still here, perhaps you have someone that loves you and would welcome you putting your hand up and asking for some help?? The end result you are looking for is not death, I’m pretty sure.. as I believe you just want to be free of the pain.. Death is so final, you can’t take it back… Start with a small step, reach out to a friend or a gp or a counsellor, there are people out there just waiting to help you… I am glad you are still here, at 14 you have your whole life ahead of you, full of amazing opportunities and people you haven’t even met yet…(maybe a new love even) pleeeeease reach out – my thoughts are with you….
hi,
people here need help!
yup wish they done 30/500 co-codamol over the counter, nothing ever works for me now since I had a little accident and had to take quite a lot per day (think around 16 or so). I need to take 4 Nurofen plus’s now, on very rare occasions, though to take affect.
