Consuming Tylenol during pregnancy may increase risk of autism in child: Trump

Washington: US President Donald Trump has said that taking acetaminophen or Tylenol tablets during pregnancy may increase the risk of autism in the child.

President Trump stated that this is not a good drug, so the FDA will strictly instruct pregnant women to limit its use unless medically necessary.

US Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert Kennedy added that a safety label will also be placed on the drug for awareness.

American scientist and health economist Jayanta Bhattacharya announced that $50 million is being allocated for autism research.

It is pertinent to note that this drug is usually taken as a painkiller and is available under different names in Pakistan.

This drug can be obtained in large quantities at general medical stores without a doctor's prescription.
