Use in pregnancy: Pregnancy Category A: This area has not been extensively studied, although passage of unconjugated paracetamol via placental transfer has been demonstrated by analysis of urine samples.
Use in lactation: Amounts of paracetamol in milk range from 0.04-0.23% of the maternal dose. Maternal paracetamol ingestion in recommended analgesic doses does not appear to present a risk to the breastfed infant.
