How often can i take paracetamol during pregnancy?
Having on and off body ache and mild headache since yesterday, 22 weeks now. Doc said paracetamol is okay but i didnt ask how many times in a day is fine. Dont want to overdo it. how often did your gynac allow?
I took it only when my doctor said and never decided the gap myself. It is considered the safer option but still needs to be limited. Confirm the exact dosing with your gynac for your situation.
Even though paracetamol is the commonly allowed one, please dont decide the frequency yourself. My doctor told me the limit and said only when really needed. Call your gynac and confirm the dose for you.
Paracetamol is generally the go to in pregnancy but only at the doctor's advised amount and not back to back. Use it for genuine fever or pain, not for every little ache. When in doubt, a quick call to your doc sorts it.
