Hello, and I hope i can help you today.

Panadol is commonly used during pregnancy and is safe for treatment of pain and fever in normal doses. If your girlfriend was able to recover from her overdose and the pregnancy was only one month along, there is likely no risk to the baby from the Panadol that she took.

An ultrasound examination can confirm that the baby is alive and healthy. You and she then may make the best decision for you in whom to tell about the pregnancy.

I hope I was able to adequately answer your queston today and that this information was reassuring.

Best wishes for the rest of the pregnancy,

Dr. Brown
