There is no solid evidence that paracetamol affects the development of autism

The World Health Organization has stated that there is no solid evidence that paracetamol affects the development of autism.

The results of studies on paracetamol use in early pregnancy and the development of autism spectrum disorders remain contradictory, the organization noted.

To speak of a connection, it must be “consistently observed in several studies,” the WHO added.

The day before, US President Donald Trump called for people in the US to refrain from taking paracetamol.

“Don’t take it. You’ll feel uncomfortable. It may be difficult for you. But don’t take it if you’re pregnant,” Trump said.

Today, paracetamol is the most popular over-the-counter pain reliever and fever reducer, taken by more than 60% of pregnant women for headaches or fever.

It is recommended by doctors to expectant mothers because it does not have the side effects associated with miscarriage or birth defects that other analgesics have.
