Women have long been told that acetaminophen based products like Tylenol® are the best pain relievers to take during pregnancy.
But studies suggest that taking the drug too often during pregnancy could increase your unborn child’s risks for developing autism or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
In 2018, researchers did a meta-analysis of seven studies involving 132,738 pairs of mothers and children.The analysis revealed a 20% higher risk of autism for children who had prolonged exposure to acetaminophen in the womb. In 2019, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health found that children whose cord blood samples contained the highest levels of acetaminophen — the generic name for the drug Tylenol — were roughly three times more likely to be diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder later in childhood, compared to children with the lowest levels of acetaminophen in their cord blood.
Is Tylenol safe to take during pregnancy?
Previous research and previous studies have widely reported that Tylenol is safe for pregnant women to use, and many health professionals still may suggest it.
New research and warnings from doctors and scientists indicate that there may be a possible link between using Tylenol during pregnancy and a greater risk for neurological conditions that hamper child development, especially during the first trimester.
Is there a Tylenol birth defect lawsuit?
Some Lawyers are currently investigating the claims made against the drug manufacturers and are preparing for legal action. Potential clients are encouraged to contact legal representation.
A few lawsuits have been filed for Autism diagnoses relating to acetaminophen use while pregnant.
