Acetaminophen: (Paracetamol/ Tylenol) is FDA pregnancy class B in all 3 semesters. That means that you may use it if needed within the recommended dosage range. Recently Tylenol manufacturer lowered max dose recommendations to no more than 2- 500 mg tabs orally 3 times a day (for max of 3,000 mg/ day).
