Prescription use of acetaminophen among pregnant women in Denmark from 2000 to 2023: A drug utilization study
Prescription use of acetaminophen in the pregnant population in Denmark has increased since 2000, with a notable sharp increase from 2013 onwards, coinciding with the regulatory restriction that reduced over-the-counter pack sizes, alongside a concurrent rise in general-population prescription use. Prescription-based drug users were more likely to have comorbidities and multiple medication use than non-users, although these differences have become less pronounced in recent years.
