Is it safe to take an occasional tylenol?
I had a really bad headache yesterday and
felt like total crap and took just one,
but now i'm concerned about it.

Totally Safe

In the last few wekks of my first pregnacy
I was feeeling crappy, and my doctor told
me it's totally safe to take the full dose
if I wanted to.
As long as you don't go over the stated
dose, or take them more regularly than the
directions say, you are totally fine.
It's asprin you shouldn't take at all.
Hope this helps- he also told me that it
was safe to be taking the full doese, as
per the directions for more than a few
days without harming the baby.

Dont take any type of ib profen or motrin.
Any anti-inflamitory will cause birth
defects. Tylenol is fine.

What Do You Do When Tylenol Is Not Working

There is a strong possibility that I am
pregnant. I am currently waiting on the
results from the doctor, but at the same
time I am experiencing some of the worst
toothaches that I have ever had, plus I
have a awful metallic taste in my mouth
that wont go away. Everyone is telling me
that it is ok to take tylenol, but that
does not seem to be helping me with
regards to the pain in my mouth. I am
desperate to take some sort of pain killer
but I know that I should not be taking any
ibuprophen right now. Is there something
that I can take to make this pain go away
that is not harmful to me if it turns out
that I am in fact pregnant? Please help
me.

as a doctor I must advise you to ask a
doctor (ob/gyn) for advice,
anyone asking for important medical advise
on-line is asking for trouble!!

anti-inflammatories do not cause birth
defects!
They cause bleeding problems which can
cause fetal death (not birth defects)!
P.S. Check the medical literature

lol bs
you can actually take an medication with
approval of a dr, it doesnt cause birth
defects it does the same thing as tylenol
thins your blood as is a anti-inflammtory.
The only thing I read about advil is it
can prolong a pregnancy if taken in the
third trimester as per medical books!
There was a refernce in the older books as
to when taking advil in the first
trimester could possibly cause birth
defect but the studies now have shown
different!

I always wonder why guests take all the
time to go through all the old posts
&then reply to them. Especially
when they are doctors &said that
asking for advice online is a bad idea.
Lol.
