I think this should be a question for a doctor, not for people you don't know on a forum!

Yes it is safe to take panadol and vitamin C during pregnancy. but if you are already taking prenatal vitamins then skip vitamin c..

better 2 consult a doctor or at least pharmacist . why didnt she go 2 the doctor he,ll do pregnancy test at the same time would gv medicines fr fever .if it,s ur friend,s 1st pregnancy she should consult a doctor as pregnant ladies require iron n calcium in their diet.

Generally all kind of Medications taken during Pregnancy should be consulted with the Doctor, this does not mean that you can not take any medication.. Pandol is genrally safe and well as Vit C

Panadol=paracetamol=acetaminophen. Good quality Vitamin C is OK, too.

A doctor always suggest whatever vitamins needed during pregnancy from time to time.so its not advisable to take anything extra by our own .

Panadol is considered safe during pregnancy. Vitamin C won't do anything for a cold, so it's best not to take when you might not know what else is in it.
