Kool 'n' Soothe Migraine Cooling Strips - 1 pack of 4

Product Information

Sometimes breastfeeding mothers take/are prescribed one or two doses of codeine/co-codamol accidentally or when nothing else is available. In these circumstances the risk of adverse effects is low and breastfeeding can continue as normal. The baby should be observed for drowsiness. This data applies only if the baby is term or older and has no breathing difficulties. https://breastfeeding-and-medication.co.uk/fact-sheet/accidental-dose-of-codeine-when-breastfeeding Medicine over use headaches Some PBS medications are restricted and require prior approval from Medicare before a doctor is able to prescribe them on the PBS. This prior approval to prescribe grants the doctor the Authority to prescribe the desired medicine and have it funded under the PBS. Prescriptions must be written on an Authority Prescription Form, and the approval number must be noted on the prescription. Pharmacists cannot dispense the item as a pharmaceutical benefit unless it has been approved by Medicare Australia (indicated by the presence of the approval number). It is ideal for use on children because it stays in place, so children can get up and move around while still getting relief.

Unlike these other cooling items, Kool ‘n’ Soothe for Migraine stays in place and lasts for up to eight hours*. It is ready to use immediately, requiring no refrigeration before or afterwards. It is ideal for migraine sufferers. Codeine should be taken with caution during breastfeeding and avoided if it causes drowsiness in the baby (more frequent or longer sleeping periods). Codeine is contained in many of the over the counter remedies. See https://www.breastfeedingnetwork.org.uk/codeine/ for more information. Codeine is no longer recommended as routine medication for breastfeeding mothers (MHRA June 2013, EHA and BNF ) with particular caution where the mother has never taken the drug before or has found that the drug causes her to be drowsy, dizzy or experience severe constipation. See https://www.breastfeedingnetwork.org.uk/analgesics/ for more information. In addition to medication, many migraine sufferers seek cooling relief – traditionally a wet cloth. Kool ‘n’ Soothe for Migraine replaces the need for these messy methods.We recommend using Kool ‘n’ Soothe for Migraine at the first sign of migraine or severe headache. It can be used in conjunction with usual medication and safe during pregnancy.
