New medical guidance affirms Tylenol safety during pregnancy months after Trump sows doubt

The Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine reaffirmed acetaminophen (Tylenol) as the first-line treatment for pain and fever during pregnancy, contradicting the Trump administration's earlier caution about potential autism risks. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. directed the FDA to shift autism research toward environmental causes, while the FDA had proposed label changes for acetaminophen products based on unproven autism links.
