You can take a dose of regular tylenol when pregnant. Its safe.
It does not effect your prenatal or other medications in any way, especially if the doctor told you it was safe.
If you have a question about your BP medication- as to whether you can take it when pregnant, ask your doctor.

Tylenol is safe. Taking it occasionally is not going to interfere with your folic acid absorption enough to matter - and honestly folic acid is most important in the earliest days of pregnancy, before most women know they are even pregnant, during the development of the neural tube.
Tylenol also does not interfere with any of the major categories of blood pressure medications. I am an OB nurse who used to be a cardiac nurse, so I do know a thing or two about these meds.
Trust your doctor. Would they have said to take the Tylenol, knowing you are pregnant and taking prenatals and that you are on BP meds, if they thought it was going to have negative effects on either?

Tylenol is fine. If you are concerned about folic acid absorption just increase your intake with a supplement. Besides you are not going to take the Tylenol for the remainder of the pregnancy, just a couple of days.

If you've ache for the period of being pregnant, you can also take Tylenol or acetaminophen as much as two pills or 650 mg each four hours. Do no longer take aspirin for the period of your being pregnant until informed to take action by way of your medical professional. Aspirin might motive disorders with blood clotting and motive different disorders for the period of hard work and supply. Do no longer take ibuprofen (Advil) until informed by way of your medical professional, chiefly within the final three months of your being pregnant. If a headache persists for greater than 24 hours, you must name your medical professional. If you've fever for the period of being pregnant, you might also use Tylenol within the identical dosage as above, as much as two pills or 650 mg each four hours. You must pay targeted awareness to the label on any over the counter medications. Many Tylenol-manufacturer medications (Tylenol Cold and Cough, Tylenol Sinus, and many others) can include elements rather then acetaminophen. You must seek advice along with your medical professional earlier than taking some thing rather then constant Tylenol. Everything you're taking into your frame passes out of your blood to child's blood; as a result, it's excellent to avert everywhere-the-counter medications chiefly within the first 8 weeks of being pregnant (Ten weeks after your final menstrual interval) if in any respect viable. The first 8 weeks are whilst your child's center, lung and mind procedures are being shaped. Before taking over the counter medications take a look at different approaches to alleviate your signs. You must flip to over the counter medications most effective as a final inn.
