President Donald Trump advised pregnant women to avoid taking Tylenol (acetaminophen), linking its use during pregnancy to an increased risk of autism in children. He urged expectant mothers to "fight like hell" against using Tylenol unless medically necessary, such as for severe fever, when it might be unavoidable. Trump also warned parents not to give Tylenol to young children. His claims came alongside controversial remarks about childhood vaccinations and a call to reconsider vaccination schedules. However, these assertions have been met with strong criticism from medical experts and organizations, as the scientific consensus remains that a causal relationship between Tylenol use in pregnancy and autism has not been established. Tylenol is generally considered the safest over-the-counter pain reliever for pregnant women, and alternatives carry their own risks. The FDA is reportedly initiating a review and will be notifying healthcare providers about potential risks, but emphasizes that more research is needed and that decisions should be made with caution.
