Prenatal Acetaminophen Linked to Higher Autism, ADHD Risk
A comprehensive review of 46 studies has raised red flags about acetaminophen use during pregnancy.
The analysis, covering more than 100,000 participants worldwide, found that higher-quality studies consistently linked prenatal exposure to increased risks of autism and ADHD.
Biological mechanisms such as oxidative stress and hormone disruption may explain the association.
These findings emphasize the need for caution, medical oversight, and updated guidelines for expectant mothers.
