Hey i was just wondering asking i'm 14 weeks pregnant and have a sinus cold is alka selzer with same ingredients as tylenol would it be safe or okay t?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Tylenol is the brand name for generic acetaminophen. If the Alka Seltzer says acetaminopen it is safe to use. Some drug manufacturers took well know older brand names such as Alka Seltzer and changed the ingredients to other things. This is confusing to the public in general. If it says acetaminophen it is the same as Tylenol.
