Caption: International Health Agencies Reject Trump’s Claims About Tylenol And Autism. International health agencies have strongly rebuked US President Donald Trump’s claims that acetaminophen, or Tylenol, used during pregnancy may increase the risk of autism. Speaking on Tuesday, UK Health Secretary Wes Streeting advised the public to ignore Trump’s remarks, saying, “I trust doctors over President Trump, frankly.” His comments followed Trump’s announcement that the US Food and Drug Administration would warn doctors about the potential autism risk, linked to Tylenol, despite decades of evidence supporting its safety. In quick response, the European Medicines Agency and UK health officials reassured the public confirming that paracetamol remains a safe option during pregnancy. “There is no evidence that paracetamol causes autism,” said Steffen Thirstrup, chief medical officer of the European Medicines Agency. A recent peer-reviewed study acknowledged an association between acetaminophen use and autism but stopped short of claiming causality. In contrast, a Swedish study in 2024 found no such link. Experts warn that untreated fever during pregnancy can be harmful to both mother and fetus, making Tylenol a crucial pain relief option when used responsibly.
