I took Gen Payne for a terrible headache I had. It worked like a charm, but my nose started itching like I am having a hayfever attack. Could this be a side effect or do you think that it might have been hayfever? ## It's definitely not hayfever but probably the codeine in the tablets which caused the itching. Codeine is routinely converted to morphine in the body in order for it to be an effective painkiller. One of the side effects of taking morphine is a horrible but sometimes pleasurable itch. I've been on long term use of morphine and it would always start with my nose itching then my torso and my legs. Hope I could answer your question

I just drank 2 gen-payne capsules and 2 actamol tablets...is that a bad combination? ## Hello, Immy! How are you? Yes, since both medication contain Paracetamol, you should not have taken both.

Hi , I drank gen-payne tablets for period pains and my menstruation immediately got lighter. Is this a possible side-effect? ## No, that's not a typical side effect as listed by the FDA. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Sometimes, however, your period can be lighter or heavier than usual, it can even vary according to times of day and usually nothing to worry about. However, if you're concerned, you should consult your doctor, to be sure. Is there anything else I can help with?

Hi, I need some advice on the prolonged use of Gen payne. Been struggling with TMD and the dentist prescribed genpayne and norflex, so I've been taking the gen payne daily (sometimes twice) for something like 2-3 weeks now I've stopped taking it today and woke up feeling shaky.

What did he prescribe? The U.S. FDA lists the typical antibiotic side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea.

Will this cause lack of response in the penis when having intercourse?Lack of sensitivity? ## Gen Payne contains the active ingredients Ibuprofen, Paracetamol and Codeine, which is a narcotic pain reliever.
