I take some Alaxan FR and Amoxicillin when I am at my first weeks of pregnancy, is there any effect for my baby? Could someone help me what to do? ## Alaxan FR is reported to contain Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen [1]. Acetaminophen is generally considered safe to take during your entire pregnancy.

Since you are talking about multiple NSAID drugs, you should definitely work with your doctor to ensure that any medications you are taking fall within safe levels during your pregnancy. Best wishes!
