Paracetamol use in pregnancy not linked to autism or ADHD, study debunks Trump claims
A major international study found no evidence that paracetamol use during pregnancy increases the risk of autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability in children. The review, analyzing data from over 1 million children, is the largest to date and challenges previous claims linking paracetamol to neurodevelopmental disorders. Health authorities continue to recommend paracetamol as the safest option for pain and fever during pregnancy when used as directed.
