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

The Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine published new clinical guidance affirming acetaminophen (Tylenol) as the first-line treatment for pain and fever during pregnancy, contradicting prior Trump administration warnings about its potential link to autism. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. directed the FDA to shift autism research toward environmental causes, while Texas' Attorney General Ken Paxton sued Johnson and Johnson over alleged risks of acetaminophen use during pregnancy.
