What are the issues with Tylenol
Asked 2 hours ago
Answer
Recent controversy surrounds Tylenol due to claims of a possible link between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism risk. Major studies, including one with 2.5 million children, found no increased risk. Medical experts and Tylenol's manufacturer reject the association, warning that discouraging Tylenol could push pregnant women toward riskier alternatives. The FDA maintains there is no clear evidence of harm when used appropriately.
