A comprehensive review of scientific evidence has found that taking paracetamol (acetaminophen) during pregnancy does not increase the risk of autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability in children. The study, considered a "gold standard" in research, contradicts the claims made by former US President Donald Trump in 2022, which were widely condemned by medical and scientific communities. The review, conducted by a team of researchers, thoroughly examined the available data and concluded that the use of paracetamol during pregnancy does not raise the chances of these developmental disorders in offspring. This study provides reassurance to pregnant women and their healthcare providers regarding the safety of paracetamol use during pregnancy, dispelling the unfounded concerns raised by the former president.
