A member asked:
Would taking these pain killers diclofenc and cocodamol 8/500 affect your periods?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Analgesics like diclofenac could thin your blood and change menstruation but usually improve painful symptoms. The Codeine contained in cocodamol when used over long periods of time and specially at high doses could inhibit hormones required for regular menstrual periods.
