It’s the latest in a series of studies with similar findings.
Tylenol is the one of the few over-the-counter pain medications that doctors say is safe for women to use throughout their pregnancy. But a recent study from John Hopkins University points to a link between using the drug when pregnant and increased risks of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Autism Spectrum Disorder in baby, reinforcing similar findings from previous studies.
The study also found that, of the 996 babies tested , by the time they were approximately 10 years old, 25.8 percent had been diagnosed with ADHD, 6.6 percent with ASD and 4.2 percent with both. “Cord biomarkers of fetal exposure to acetaminophen were associated with significantly increased risk of childhood ADHD and ASD in a dose-response fashion,” the study states. “Our findings support previous studies regarding the association between prenatal and perinatal acetaminophen exposure and childhood neurodevelopmental risk and warrant additional investigations.”done in 2016 that surveyed close to 8,000 women in the UK.
While these studies have found a link, they haven’t found a definitive cause-and-effect relationship between the two—and doctors do still deem Tylenol safe to take during pregnancy. So, don’t despair yet! Just make sure to talk to your doctor about how and when to take it.
