U.S. President Donald Trump stated, "Don't take Tylenol, especially if you're pregnant! Don't give it to the baby!" citing the controversial link between autism and medication. While medical experts reacted strongly to Trump's statements, it was claimed that heavy compensation lawsuits against the U.S. government are on the way.
U.S. President Donald Trump stated in a press release that taking Tylenol, known as paracetamol in other places, is "not good" and that pregnant women should "fight like hell" to take it only in cases of severe fever.
EARTHQUAKE IN THE PHARMACEUTICAL MARKET
Trump's warning on camera, "Don't take Tylenol, if you're pregnant! Don't give it to the baby either," has officially caused an earthquake in the pharmaceutical market.
HEAVY LAWSUITS ON THE WAY
While medical experts reacted strongly to Trump's statements, it was suggested that heavy lawsuits against the U.S. government are on the way.
"I TRUST DOCTORS MORE THAN TRUMP"
Health officials in the UK emphasized that paracetamol remains the safest pain reliever available for pregnant women. UK Health Secretary Wes Streeting stated, "Clearly, I trust doctors more than President Trump on this matter."
"TRUMP'S CLAIM IS NOT BASED ON SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE"
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists refuted Trump's statement made in the Oval Office on Monday. President Dr. Steven Fleischman said that the Tylenol claim "dangerously oversimplifies the numerous and complex causes of neurological issues in children and is not based on the entirety of scientific evidence." The statement added, "Past research has not provided clear evidence of a direct relationship between the careful use of paracetamol in any trimester and fetal development issues."
FDA ISSUES CAUTIOUS STATEMENT
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) used softer language in a notice to doctors than Trump. The agency stated that doctors should consider limiting the use of Tylenol, but also noted that it is the safest over-the-counter option for treating fever and pain in pregnant women, and that they should keep in mind that it could harm both maternal and baby health.
The FDA wrote, "Clearly, while a relationship between paracetamol and autism has been identified in many studies, a causal relationship has not yet been established, and there are studies in the scientific literature that contradict this."
