Hello and thanks for your post
Although Ibuprofen and codeine can be taken together it is not suitable for some people with certain health conditions and you can read more about this on the NHS website.
I'm afraid we cannot tell you if you can take it as we are not involved in your clinical care. Your specialist team or GP are better placed to advise you on this as they are familiar with all your medical details. If you have a specialist nurse involved in your care then perhaps they can provide you with further information. You often have to call and leave them a message and they will get back to you.
Give us a ring if you would like to talk anything over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
Kind regards,
Celene
