Acetaminophen Intake

Anonymous
The headache discussion below prompts this question: how often is it safe to take the recommended dosage of acetaminophen? I've also been suffering from lots of headaches and have tried to avoid taking Tylenol, even though my ob tells me it is safe. He is also rather laid-back on this issue so I'd appreciate a sense of what everyone else has heard from their doctors. Thanks!

I've been told my OB and specialist that Tylenol is the safest. I believe you can take 2 extra strength 4x/day.

I actually asked my OB this exact question and she said it is perfectly safe. I had to take Acetaminophine about couple days or so from 16 weeks through 24. THis is also coming from a very conservative OB.

Are you drinking enough water, OP? Do you need a new prescription for your glasses? Just brainstorming on possible causes that might let you avoid taking it (although I understand it's safe).
