FDA Warning on Acetaminophen 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.
