The safe amount of Tylenol (acetaminophen) during pregnancy is generally up to 3,000 mg per day. This can be taken as regular-strength Tylenol at two 325 mg tablets every 4 to 6 hours, not exceeding 10 tablets in 24 hours. For extra strength Tylenol (500 mg tablets), the limit is 6 tablets per day. It is important to avoid exceeding this dosage and to use Tylenol only as needed, not routinely or long term, and always under the guidance of a healthcare provider. Additionally, be cautious if taking other medications that may contain acetaminophen to avoid accidental overdose.

Key Points:

• Maximum daily dose: about 3,000 mg acetaminophen.
• Regular strength (325 mg): 1-2 tablets every 4-6 hours, max 10 tablets/day.
• Extra strength (500 mg): max 6 tablets/day.
• Use only as needed and consult healthcare providers.
• Avoid use of other acetaminophen-containing meds concurrently.

Tylenol is considered safer than alternatives like ibuprofen during pregnancy but should still be used with moderation and care.

If using Tylenol PM (acetaminophen plus diphenhydramine), this should only be occasional and healthcare provider approved.
