Trump links autism to Tylenol, urges pregnant women to avoid it

President Donald Trump announced Monday that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration will notify doctors that using Tylenol during pregnancy may be associated with a "greatly increased risk of autism," despite decades of evidence that it is safe.

"They are strongly recommending that women limit their use of Tylenol during pregnancy unless it is medically necessary," such as to treat a fever, "if they can't afford it," Trump said.

The US president claimed that taking paracetamol, the main ingredient in Tylenol, also known in the US as acetaminophen, is "not good" and that pregnant women should only take it in cases of extreme fever.

Experts say there are multiple causes of autism, and the science showing a link between autism and Tylenol is not clear.

Without treatment, fever can be dangerous for both the fetus and the pregnant woman, experts say. The risks include miscarriage, birth defects and high blood pressure.

At some point during pregnancy, most people use acetaminophen, which is sold under the brand name Tylenol, studies show. Acetaminophen is considered the only safe over-the-counter option for pain or fever for pregnant women. Other common pain relief options like ibuprofen or regular-dose aspirin may increase the risk of serious complications during pregnancy.

Speaking from the White House, Trump supported halting childhood vaccinations and even postponing hepatitis B vaccination for newborns.

"A lot of different things are going into that baby," Trump said, without providing further evidence.

Numerous studies have shown that there is no link between vaccines and autism.
