Hi, I understand your concern Dolo 650 is a paracetamol preparation. Paracetamol is safest drug for pain & fever in pregnancy. It is only not given to patients with liver problems. Your wife has taken 6 pills in 50 hours .. must have been given for high grade fever control. high grade fever itself is hazardous in early pregnancy.So it was needed to control fever in her case. Please don't worry, it's absolutely safe for prenancy . If she has some liver problem,get her liver function tests after coinsulting your doctor. thanks.
