À propos de cet audio
You’ve heard it all—“Tylenol causes autism” vs. “Totally safe.” Safe doesn’t mean risk-free, and you deserve the full picture.
If you’re pregnant and dealing with headache, fever, or pain, this short episode gives you a clear, guilt-free way to think about acetaminophen (Tylenol). I walk you through what the research actually says, why observational studies can confuse the conversation, and how to make a smart, individualized decision with your clinician.
You’ll learn:
- Why “safe” ≠ “risk-free,” and how OBs should communicate benefits vs. risks
- What big studies say about acetaminophen and neurodevelopment—and what they don’t prove
- Why untreated fever and significant pain carry their own real risks in pregnancy
- A simple decision framework: lowest effective dose, shortest time, with guidance
- Non-drug options to consider for pain (PT, yoga, chiropractic)
Resources Mentioned:
- Evaluation of the evidence on acetaminophen use and neurodevelopmental disorders using the Navigation Guide methodology (cautious, judicious use; association ≠ causation)
- Acetaminophen Use During Pregnancy and Children’s Risk of Autism, ADHD, and Intellectual Disability (no association in sibling-controlled analyses)
