Is it safe to take in pregnancy ?

[Guadagnia]

Hi Guys,
Ive recently been suffering, in fact I think I have a throat/ear infection.
I will get myself off to the docs tomorrow, but is it safe to take paracetamol and nurofen ?

I need to go to the docs anyway to ask for some iron tablets for the tiredness etc... Bye the way as anybody had any antibiotics prescribed whilst pregnant.

You wouldnt think Ive already been pregnant once, but it seems like such a long time ago.

Nurofen def isn't, not sure about paracetamol- I would try and contact a Sunday pharmacist before you take anything...

Hope you feel better soon

Doc told me that paracetamol was fine to take during pregnancy. Just take the correct dose.

Anti-biotics???? I am not sure, I was told by my GP that amoxosillin (sp) was the safest one to take for a urine infection while TTC. (just incase I was pregnant)

Hope this helps... xxx

I had brochitis whilst pregnant and was given amoxycillin. Paracetemol is fine too. Just watch out for thrush tough, I got it and passed it to Aimee during the birth

Hi there,

Just to confirm what advice you've had already...

You can take paracetamol. You cannot take any other painkillers including ibuprofen (nurofen).

I have been prescribed the antibiotic amoxicillin by my dentist. She assured me it was safe during pregnancy. I checked with a doc, and the pharmacist before taking it! It is safe!

Hope you're better soon!

Paracetamol is fine. I was advise to take 2 every 4hours when I had my water infection a few weeks ago.

Hope you feel better soon hun

But don't take more than 8 paracetamol tablets within 24 hours.
