FDA Advises Against Tylenol Use in Pregnancy

First, effective immediately, the FDA will be notifying

physicians that the use of acetaminophen

which is basically commonly known as Tylenol

during pregnancy can be associated with a very increased risk of autism.

So taking Tylenol is not good.

I'll say it. It's not good.

For this reason, they are strongly recommending that

women limit Tylenol use during pregnancy unless medically necessary.

That's, for instance, in cases of extremely high fever

that you feel you can't tough it out, you can't do it.

I guess there's that. It's a small number of cases, I think.

But if you can't tough it out,

if you can't do it, that's what you're going to have to do.
