health π©Ί Tylenol in pregnancy: Review finds no link to autism
A comprehensive review determined that using acetaminophen, or Tylenol, during pregnancy is not causally linked to autism or ADHD in children. This research evaluated data from seven meta-analyses involving over three million participants. While initial broad assessments showed slight risks of 1.17 and 1.29, focusing on higher quality studies diminished these associations significantly. Lead author Hoda Tayebi Hillali stressed that robust evidence is needed, challenging the causal link interpretation. The authors recommend keeping current prescribing guidelines, balancing risks against the need to treat maternal pain. π€°
