ibuprofen

Avatar f tn I have a shoulder problem and used to be on strong pain killers, but my doctor told me to change to heat rubs!
Avatar f tn I took 4 ibuprofen during pregnancy 3 hours apart.. I read online that ibuprofen is not allowed during pregnancy??? Does anyone know if it's ok or why it's not allowed my doctors office won't answer but I'm really scared now.
Avatar f tn Do not take advil. It is ibuprofen, which is very bad during pregnancy.
Avatar f tn Ibuprofen (and all NSAIDs) are a big no go during pregnancy (with the occasional exception of aspirin for certain medical conditions, and only under direction of a physician).... Tylenol (acetaminophen) is really the only thing you can take.
Avatar f tn I don't know if I'm pregnant or not but If I am can Ibuprofen harm my child during early stages of pregnancy?
7923170 tn?1412999504 Ibuprophen should not be taken during pregnancy. Ibuprophen is the active ingredient in several over the coiner pain relievers...Motrin, Adivil are two examples. Always check the active ingredients on any medication to find what you are taking. I would recommend asking your doctor for a list of any common medications that are safe while pregnant. I hope this helps.
Avatar f tn I have a infected broke off wisdom tooth during my last pregnancy my face swelled up and I was out of Tylenol so I took a 800 mg ibuprofen. Bad call for me but I was in pain and it was only once and everything turned out fine with baby so I was lucky.

Avatar f tn There is an ingredient in ibuprofen that is a blood thinner, which is very dangerous for pregnant women considering we already have extra blood in our system. Ibuprofen (advil) is NOT safe to take during pregnancy. Your best be is to listen to those girls who already posted, and drink 2 tall glasses of water real quick. Dehydration is the number one cause of migraine/headache. If after half an hour you still have a headache, take some regular strength tylenol and have a nap. Feel better soon!
Avatar n tn Ibuprofen is not recomended at all during pregnacy!
Avatar f tn No ibuprofen. It's a big no no during pregnancy. You can take Tylenol. Also, drink plenty of water. Eucalyptus oil in the shower or diffuser will help clear you up a bit.
Avatar f tn Ibuprofen is not to be taken during pregnancy.. Ive gt migraines and now that in pregnant its so severe because I can't take ny usual medication so I take paracetamol low dose for the sake of the baby even tho it doesn't helo much.. try washing her hair with cold water n place cold olive oil in her hair she should feel better with that.. well it works for me..
Avatar f tn Never ever ever take advil or ibuprofen during pregnancy. It's a blood thinner. Your md should have given you a safe med list. Tylenol.
Avatar f tn Two completely different compounds. Tylenol, or acetaminophen has been deemed safe during pregnancy, ibuprofen, or Advil has NOT. As for aspirin, that's correct, it's a blood thinner.
Avatar f tn To be honest, during the 2WW there really isn't much you need to avoid. I would double check with your Dr., but I doubt it's a problem. Of course, once pregnancy is confirmed tylenol is the only thing you can really take that is not prescription. Again, double check with your Dr., but I am pretty certain it's fine at this point. Good luck, hope it's a BFP!!!!!
Avatar n tn I'm 25 weeks pregnant my doctor prescribed me Metronidazole Vaginal Gel for a bacteria that I have, has anyone else taken this during a pregnancy ? I'm really scared I've read about women who've lost their baby by taking this gel I'm really scared I called my OB and I asked him if its safe for the baby and he said it is but I'm really concerned about this, its my first baby too. I need Help anyone ??
Avatar f tn No Advil And Ibuprofen Are The Same Thing Which Are Very Dangerous To Take In Pregnancy. The Only Thing You Can Take Is Tylenol That I Have Head Of. Maybe Call The On Call Dr For Something Else. They May Be Able To Tell You What Is Safe.
385161 tn?1270081218 Just wondering if its normal to have a little more discharge during early pregnancy. i've noticed creamy abundant (sorry if tmi) lately and I am only 4 weeks pregnant. anyone know if this is normal...also any adivce about constipation...geeze this is a gross post lol, i am not trying to be gross intentionally, just tryin to get control of whats going on here. thanks for any advice I appreciate it.
Avatar f tn In most cases, no. While it's highly unlikely that taking a single dose of aspirin in early or mid-pregnancy will have a harmful affect, the drug can cause problems for both you and your baby if you take it regularly in normal adult doses while you're pregnant. So, except in a few cases, it's best to avoid aspirin altogether during this time. Here's why: Studies have linked aspirin to various pregnancy complications.
Avatar f tn I've always been told Tylenol. Not quite sure but It's something about ibuprofen that's not good during pregnancy. I stay away from all medicines during pregnancy. If I feel like I REALLY need pain relief & usually fir a headachethen I'll take Tylenol but only after I've tried home remedies first, like tanking a nap, showering, relaxing in a dark room...
Avatar f tn Always having a bad hair day i use to have oil, spray or gel on me hair, but being 10 weeks i am confuse which brand i should use, cos most of the gel shouldnt be used during pregnancy. Please advice.
Avatar f tn Ive had this gel ish like sac come out. Like in the morning I woke up to a sharp cramp and my period started the day before....so I had a really bad cramp thought it was just ovarian cyst and just used a heating pad but it seemed to hurt more and so I decided to take a hot bath. It helped a little bit I felt something start I to come out and I sat up and it the gel like sac just slipped out. It was like the size of my palm.
