Tylenol, autism and Donald Trump's claim: Doctors share what is right and what is not
President Trump's claim that Tylenol use during pregnancy increases autism risk sparked widespread concern. Medical experts, including doctors and organizations like ACOG, refuted this, citing a lack of scientific evidence. They emphasize autism's complex, multifactorial nature, involving genetics and prenatal factors, and advise pregnant women to use Tylenol responsibly under medical guidance, as untreated fever poses greater risks.
