What is the dosage of acetaminophen during pregnancy?

The dosage of acetaminophen in pregnancy is not different from the regular dosage. However, pregnant women should avoid certain forms of acetaminophen, such as those containing codeine or decongestants. If the medication only contains acetaminophen, it is safe to take 1 to 2 tablets of 500mg (extra-strength) every 4 to 6 hours, with a maximum of 8 tablets per day.
