Trump Administration to Advise Caution on Tylenol Early in Pregnancy Over Autism Risk

The move comes as officials prepare to spotlight leucovorin as a potential therapy despite medical guidance that finds no proven causal link.

Tylenol es una reconocida marca de paracetamol
El nuevo estudio se enfocó en examinar la posible relación entre el uso prenatal del paracetamol y el desarrollo posterior de trastornos del neurodesarrollo en niños, lo que incluye el trastorno del espectro autista y el trastorno por déficit de atención e hiperactividad

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report the administration will recommend avoiding routine acetaminophen use in early pregnancy except to treat fever, citing a possible association with autism.
  • HHS plans to highlight leucovorin (folinic acid) as an investigational option for some autism symptoms, based on small early trials that have not established efficacy or approval.
  • HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., alongside FDA commissioner Marty Makary and NIH director Jay Bhattacharya, is steering the effort that President Trump has previewed publicly.
  • NIH officials say a separate data-science program has funded 13 research teams to study causes and treatments and will proceed independently of Monday’s messaging.
  • Kenvue, Tylenol’s maker, disputes any causal link and met with HHS leaders, while experts cite a 2024 Swedish cohort finding no relationship and contrast it with a 2025 Harvard–Mount Sinai review reporting non-causal associations.
