Panadol is like a lifesaver when the twin pregnancy headaches hit! But seriously, don't self-medicate in the first trimester without a quick WhatsApp confirmation from your gynac.

My saas always says to try a cold compress for headaches instead of taking English medicines. If the pain is too much, I call my doctor first before taking Panadol, just to be safe.

Mahalakshmi Tayal · Answer

Paracetamol (like Panadol) is generally considered the safest painkiller during pregnancy, but don't just pop them regularly. Always check with your gynac for the safe dosage before taking any pill in the first trimester.

Maine bhi doctor se puch kar hi paracetamol li thi jab mujhe sir dard tha. Apne mann se koi bhi goli mat khana, pehle doctor se baat kar lena.

Beta, try drinking some warm ginger water or resting in a dark room first for your headache. If the fever or pain is high, then ask your doctor before taking Panadol.

I'm trying to conceive and always wonder what medicines are safe in early weeks. Is Panadol really the only safe one? It's good to know we should still ask the gynac first.

Chitra Khanna · Answer

Yes, Panadol is usually safe, but please ask your doctor once before taking it in early pregnancy.

Actually, my doctor told me paracetamol is safe, but we should strictly avoid medicines like ibuprofen, yaar. Just call your clinic and confirm the dose before taking it.
