Can I take ibuprofen and Tylenol while being pregnant?

Answer 1

Ibuprofen during PregnancyOne thing that almost all doctors agree on: do NOT take ibuprofen in the third trimester of your pregnancy, particularly after about 32 weeks. Ibuprofen can cause the ductus arteriosis to close prematurely. The DA is vital to fetal circulation and should close in the first 24 hours after birth. Ibuprofen is used to help close it when it stays open past 24 hours (PDA).

Before 32 weeks, things are a bit more controversial.

A lot of doctors would probably advise against taking ibuprofen early in pregnancy (during the first 8 weeks or so), simply because we know that that that is when your baby's organs are being formed and ibuprofen has never been scientifically proven to be safe at that time. (It may or may not be. We really don't yet know for sure.)

Between those two time periods (i.e. approximately 8 and 32 weeks gestation), a lot of us think that occasional ibuprofen use is reasonably safe, at least if it is used only in small doses (say, 200 to 400 mg, maybe even 600 mg once or twice) and only for limited amounts of time.

There aren't any super-clear guidelines that I know of, but I would definitely recommend that you avoid using ibuprofen regularly during pregnancy, for instance for chronic headaches or anything like that.

no coz it can harm the baby but after you have given birth yeah

It is recommended to NOT take Ibuprofen. What is safe though is Tylenol

Answer 2

Please do not take ibuprofen during pregnancy or even if you suspect you are pregnant without consulting your OB-GYN. It is known to cause a fetal heart defect as well as problems with the baby's kidneys.

No you can't take ibuprofen in any of your trimesters! Even in your third when you can take anything over the counter, not ibuprofen, and remember the earlier in your pregnancy the more risky it is to take any medication because the baby is still developing. People really need to understand that!

It is advised not to take Ibrupofen during pregnancy at all, however paracetemol is fine.

Do not take any medications while pregnant, even over the counter ones, without consulting your Dr first.

Answer 7

Time Magazine ( report on drugs and pregnancy ) states that ibuproophen taken after the 30th week of pregnancy can cause fetal death.

Answer 8

Tylenol is the only recommended pain reliever that a doctor will recomend during pregnancy...do not take ibuprofen as it can thin the blood and cause problems in pregnancy or delivery.
