Acetaminophen (Tylenol)
Acetaminophen is considered by many healthcare providers and organizations to be the pain reliever and fever reducer of choice during pregnancy — use it only as needed, at the lowest effective dose, unless your clinician has given other instructions, and check labels so combination products do not push you over the daily amount.
What to do:Lowest effective dose, only as needed; add up acetaminophen across combination products.
Confirm personal decisions with your OB, midwife, or pharmacist, especially for medicines, supplements, allergies, symptoms, or a high-risk pregnancy.
