US President Donald Trump said that doctors in the United States would soon advise not to describe the pain of the pain of Tilanol for pregnant women.
Trump announced this on Monday in the Oval Office, along with Minister of Health Robert Kennedy Junior.
The American president claimed that taking paracetamol, the main component of Taylinol, also known in the United States as acetaminophen, “not good” and that pregnant women should take it only in severe fever.
Some studies have shown a link between pregnant women who eat Tilanol and autism, but these results are inconsistent and inconclusive. Tylenol Maker Kenvue defended the use of the drug in pregnant women.
In a statement to the British Broadcasting Authority, he said: “We believe that the independent flag, and the proper science clearly shows that eating acetaminophen does not cause autism. We disagree strongly with any other suggestion and we are very interested in the health risks that these expected mothers offer.”
She added that acetaminophen – the active ingredient of a teleinol – is the safest option for pain for pregnant women, and without that, women face a dangerous choice between suffering through cases such as fever or using more serious alternatives.
During the announcement on Monday, Kennedy said that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) would make a notice of doctors about what he described as a potential risk to take Taylinol during pregnancy.
He said that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will also start the process of starting to change the safety label on the drug and launch a public health campaign to spread awareness.
Kennedy added that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will soon agree on Leucovorin, a drug that is traditionally used to protect cancer patients from toxicity from chemotherapy, for use as a treatment for children with autism.
The FDA Commissioner Marti Macari said that the approval will be based on research that the drug may help children with autism who suffer from folic deficiency, a form of vitamin B, Improving verbal communication.
What is Leucovorin?
The Autism Science Foundation, an American charity, said that low folate levels were linked during early pregnancy in some studies by increasing the risk of autism in children, although the results are inconsistent.
Studies in Norway, the United States and Israel have found that mothers who took folic acid supplements on pregnancy had children with less than 30-70 % of autism. But other studies did not find an important connection.
The Charitable Society said that the proposal of folic acid may improve some symptoms from Lukovorin experiments, also known as phonic acid.
Some research has shown that unlike regular folic acid, phonic acid can easily cross the brain barrier in the blood and treat vitamin deficiency.
Four small, random experiments were performed, all of which are used as different doses and measurements for success. The first, from 2016, 48 children with autism in the United States studied and found improvements in verbal communication compared to imaginary therapy.
But researchers have warned that science is still in the very early stages, and more work is needed before reaching any fixed conclusions.
Medical experts are retreating
In April, Kennedy pledged a “huge test and research effort” to determine the cause of autism in five months.
On Monday, Trump described the ups in autism as a “horrific crisis”, and a issue with “very strong feelings about”.
But experts have warned that finding the causes of autism – a complex syndrome that has been discussed decades ago – would not be simple.
Researchers’ view is widely that there is no single cause of autism, which is believed to be the result of a complex mix of genetic and environmental factors.
Dr. Stephen Flechman, President of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, said in a statement that the announcement on Monday “is not supported by a set of full scientific evidence and seriously simplifying the many and complex causes of neurological challenges in children.”
The leading medical professional group said that doctors all over the country have constantly identified Tilanol as one of the only safe pain relievers for pregnant women.
“The studies conducted in the past, no clear evidence showing a direct relationship between the wise use of asytaminophen during any development issues in the third and the fetus,” the group said.
The drug is recommended by other major medical groups as well as other governments around the world.
Gety picturesIn August, a Research review Harvard’s Dean of Chan Public Health remained that children may be more likely to take autism and other neurological growth disorders when they are exposed to tenelol during pregnancy.
The researchers argued that some steps should be taken to reduce the use of the drug, but they said it is still important to treat mother and pain fever, which can also have negative effects for children.
But another Study, published in 2024, You did not find any relationship between exposure to ginol and autism.
By looking at a population sample of 2.4 million children born in Sweden between 1995 to 2019, about 7.5 % of them were subjected to iyaminophen during pregnancy.
By comparing the rates of autism among those who were exposed to those who were not, as well as comparing the siblings who participated in genetics, the study concluded that there was no increasing risk of autism, hyperactivity disorder, lack of attention or mental disability that can be permanently linked to asytaminophen.
“There is no strong evidence or convincing studies indicating that there is no causal relationship,” said Monic Betha, a professor of social and developmental psychology at Durham University.
Dr. Batha added that pain relief for pregnant women was “lacking sadness”, as Tilanol was one of the only safe options for the population.
Autism diagnoses increased sharply since 2000, and by 2020 the 8 -year -old children reached 2.77 %, according to CDC and Prevention Centers (CDC).
Scientists attribute at least part of the height to increased awareness of autism and define the expansion of the disorder. The researchers were also looking for environmental factors.
In the past, Kennedy gave theories of exposing the high rates of autism, blaming the vaccines although there is no evidence.
