President Trump and top health officials Monday said pregnant women should not take acetaminophen for pain relief due to a potential link to autism.
Acetaminophen is the active ingredient in Tylenol, one of the most widely used medications in the world.
“Taking Tylenol is not good,” Trump said during a White House announcement.
Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will begin updating the label on acetaminophen and will begin notifying physicians that Tylenol “can be associated with a very increased risk of autism.”
“All pregnant women should talk to their doctors for more information about limiting the use of this medication while pregnant. So ideally, you don’t take it at all, but if you have to, you can’t tough it out … probably, you’re going to end up doing it,” Trump said.
Tylenol has been one of the only over-the-counter pain medications for pregnant women that is considered safe. Other options like ibuprofen or aspirin can increase risks of birth defects.
Experts say there are multiple causes of autism, and the increase in diagnoses is more likely due to improved detection.
“Despite recent unfounded claims, there’s no clear evidence linking prudent use to issues with fetal development,” it added.
Major medical societies, including the Society of Maternal Fetal Medicine (SMFM), advise recommend that pregnant women consult with health providers before taking acetaminophen.
“At this time, the weight of scientific evidence that acetaminophen use during pregnancy causes an increased risk for autism or ADHD is simply inconclusive,” SMFM President Sindhu Srinivas said.

Sounds ok to me. I haven't used that stuff for decades because it doesn't work the way aspirin and ibuprofen work.
Was this his big autism announcement?
and that’s how the left will play this “Trump wants women to suffer and die in pain during pregnancy”
[[A lot of people take Tylenol like tic-tacs.]]
Raises hand. (Though within guidelines)
I haven’t seen the presser or heard all the details so I reserve judgement.
However, all I’m thinking is what happened to the ingredients in various ‘vaccines’ causing autism? And many other side effects? Is that all under some rug now? I sure as hell hope not.
I said sometime in the last week that we should start a running tally of Good Things That Have Happened so we can refer back to it to remember why we’re so happy.
I’m an emotional mess, have been for the last 2 weeks between everything and then other things. So my bitterness may be misdirected.
Why do we even have science?
There is a way to get some evidence but that study would never be approved.
Well, that seems like a major problem. There isn't anyone who can do it? Also, studies can be privately funded?
Yes, but what about people on blood thinners?
“Don’t take Tylenol” while pregnant or give it to babies and toddler IS standard guidance! As of today.
This statement is bs full of bs: “the increase in diagnoses is more likely due to improved detection”.
No it’s not.

Try again
I remember you
The Chinese market for acetaminophen is valued at over a billion USD - that and aspirin are both available OTC.
Yep
Same with gang warfare and street muggings, but I digress.
LOL Yes, I had heard that about the Amish before. re autism that is.
The complainers are a feature. Nothing wrong with some harsh debate. “The Science” no longer appreciates being questioned. That’s really the problem.
Give the pregant mothers willow bark to chew on, known towork.
What “pregnancy pain?” I gave birth to 3 children & had 4 miscarriages. Aside from an occasional headache, I had no medical issues during pregnancy that required me to take Tylenol regularly. It’s more the exception rather than the rule. In fact, we were discouraged even 40 yrs ago to take pain medication sparingly.
That same group either promoted the Covid shot in pregnant women or stood by and said nothing.
But the incidents of horse bites are much higher.
