1:20Now PlayingU.S. President Donald Trump says the Federal Drug Administration is now instructing doctors to caution pregnant women from taking the pain medication Tylenol over increased links to autism.
Medical professionals studying autism have found no direct link between acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol, and the neurological condition.
Last week, the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC) reaffirmed "acetaminophen remains a safe and appropriate first-line option for managing fever and pain during pregnancy when medically needed, at recommended doses and for the shortest duration necessary."
The SOGC's position is based on its review, finding no causal evidence linking prenatal exposure to acetaminophen and neurodevelopmental disorders like autism spectrum disorder and ADHD.
