A member asked:

I'm 16 weeks pregnant and had a headache, i took 2 advils instead of tylenols (acetaminophen) by mistake, do i need to get myself checked by a doctor?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Advil (ibuprofen): If you took advil (ibuprofen) let your obgyn know about it. To be safe. Also get your BP checked.
