Acetaminophen (Biogesic, Tylenol, and Paracetamol) taken by pregnant women for colds increases risk of giving birth to children with ADHD.

Recent research has highlighted a potential connection between prenatal exposure to acetaminophen and an increased risk of ADHD in children. A study published in Nature Mental Health found that children whose mothers had used acetaminophen during pregnancy were more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD. This study revealed that:

* Higher Risk for Daughters: Daughters whose mothers had detectable acetaminophen levels were six times more likely to develop ADHD compared to those whose mothers didn't use the drug during pregnancy.

* Overall Increased Risk: The study suggested that around 18% of children whose mothers used acetaminophen during pregnancy had ADHD, compared to 9% whose mothers did not.

The exact mechanism is not fully understood, but researchers theorize that acetaminophen might interfere with hormone levels or affect brain development during pregnancy, leading to an increased risk of developmental disorders like ADHD. However, it's important to note that while this research points to a potential link, further studies are needed to fully understand the extent and causality of this relationship.

If you're concerned about acetaminophen use during pregnancy, it's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
