Isn't paracetamol forbidden in the US for pregnant women already? It is in other countries

As far as I can tell from my local health organisations, paracetamol is one of the safest painkillers for pregnant women.

That doesn't make it very safe, but NSAIDs carry well known risks during later stages of pregnancy, and opiods aren't exactly harmless either. Even aspirin carries risk (and aspirin doesn't even work as well compared to other drugs).

As far as I can tell paracetamol is still the first choice for painkillers while pregnant, but only because none of them are completely safe to use. It's probably fine for short term usage, but that also goes for non-pregnant people to be honest.

No it’s the only allowed pain reliever for pregnant women in the US. It’s also allowed in the UK and the EU from what I can tell. What countries are you talking abou?

You are probably thinking of ibuprofen which is considered non safe during pregnancy. Paracetamol is pretty much the only OTC pain relief medication that is recommended for pregnant women.
