Former U.S. President Donald Trump has made headlines by claiming that taking Tylenol (paracetamol) during pregnancy is linked to autism in children. The announcements came at a press conference on September 22, 2025, where he urged pregnant women to avoid using Tylenol unless absolutely necessary. The evidence linking paracetamol exposure during pregnancy to autism is widely considered inconsistent, and no strong scientific consensus supports the claims. Manufacturers of Tylenol (paracetamol) also rejected the claims, saying that decades of research support its safety when used appropriately during pregnancy. Trump’s claims have sparked debate, but health professionals maintain that there is no solid evidence at present to link paracetamol use with autism.
