President Trump takes questions at the White House following an announcement that federal health officials are updating drug labeling to discourage the use of Tylenol during pregnancy.
Trump and his deputies repeatedly advised pregnant women to refrain from using acetaminophen and said they would caution physicians against using it — contrary to what physicians groups say.
By his own admission, President Trump said he was not precise with his language on the subject.
"If you can't tough it out," President Trump said, limited use of acetaminophen might be necessary.
He called on pregnant women to refrain from using the common painkiller, repeatedly saying, "Don't take Tylenol."
