I am taking Bicalutamide and soon will be going onto injections. I have back pain and my GP has prescribed Codeine Is it permisso to keep taking Codeine as treatment continues if the back pain continues. I reluctantly take it as all the NSAIDS push up the already high blood pressure which is why he changed medication. I have an Aortic Aneurism as well.
Hi again , a question so specific like this I would always put to your medical team as it has specific issues and yes you could post this to our Online Nurse.
