Paracetamol use in pregnancy

37942

Paracetamol use in pregnancy is commonly recommended and is frequently used as an analgesic and antipyretic treatment. Although it has been in common use for decades, questions about its safety in pregnancy are still being evaluated in many research studies. The objective of this paper is to take attention to the results of new experimental and clinical studies on pregnancy outcome after paracetamol use in the literature. Collectively, the results points to a scenario that the use of paracetamol in pregnancy may have possible unwanted effects on the development of fetus that clinicians should be aware of. As a result, use of paracetamol as an analgesic and antipyretic drug during pregnancy appears to be still most-preferred and valuable choice when considering the risk profiles of its alternatives.
