The American College Of Obstetricians And Gynecologists Issues Statement On The Usage Of Acetaminophen By “Pregnant People”

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists issued a statement on the usage of Acetaminophen by “pregnant people.”

“Acetaminophen is one of the few options available to pregnant patients to treat pain and fever, which can be harmful to pregnant people when left untreated. Maternal fever, headaches as an early sign of preeclampsia, and pain are all managed with the therapeutic use of acetaminophen, making acetaminophen essential to the people who need it. The conditions people use acetaminophen to treat during pregnancy are far more dangerous than any theoretical risks and can create severe morbidity and mortality for the pregnant person and the fetus.”
