Recently, there has been media coverage suggesting a possible link between paracetamol use in pregnancy and autism. We would like to reassure all patients that this scare is not evidence-based.

According to the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG):
"The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has published a clear statement on the safety of paracetamol use in pregnancy, stating that there is no confirmed link between taking paracetamol during pregnancy and autism in children."

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) also released a statement reaffirming that guidance has not changed:
"Evidence shows that acetaminophen remains the safe, trusted option for pain relief and treatment of headache and fever during pregnancy. We also shared an FAQ document to help the public understand the facts around acetaminophen use in pregnancy."

Please be assured that both UK and US professional bodies (RCOG & ACOG) continue to support the safe use of paracetamol in pregnancy. Always consult your doctor before starting or stopping any medication.

最近有媒体报道声称孕期使用扑热息痛（对乙酰氨基酚）可能与自闭症有关。我们想向大家说明：这种说法没有科学证据支持。

根据英国皇家妇产科学院 (RCOG) 的声明：
“英国药品和保健品管理局 (MHRA) 已明确说明，孕期使用扑热息痛是安全的，目前没有证实其与儿童自闭症存在关联。”

美国妇产科学院 (ACOG) 也发表声明再次重申其立场：
“证据表明，对乙酰氨基酚仍然是孕期用于止痛、治疗头痛和发热的安全可靠选择。同时，我们也发布了常见问答文件，帮助公众更好地理解孕期使用对乙酰氨基酚的事实。”

请大家放心，英国和美国的专业机构（RCOG 与 ACOG）都确认孕期安全使用扑热息痛。请在开始或停用任何药物前，务必咨询医生的专业意见。
