Abstract

Acetaminophen (paracetamol) is a commonly used drug during pregnancy and is considered safe. However, it is among the most frequent agents of which overdoses are reported during pregnancy. The most important result of overdose use is hepatotoxicity, which can cause death. We herein present our approach to two pregnant cases we followed up in the intensive care unit due to acetaminophen intoxication.
