When children are exposed to acetaminophen—also known by the brand name Tylenol or as paracetamol—during pregnancy, they may be more likely to develop neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) including autism and ADHD, according to a new study. The study was published August 14 in BMC Environmental Health. Andrea Baccarelli, dean of the faculty at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and professor of environmental health, was senior author. The study was led by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and also included co-authors from other institutions. The researchers analyzed results from 46 previous studies—representing data from over 100,000 participants—that investigated the potential link between prenatal acetaminophen use and subsequent NDDs in children.

Researchers reviewed dozens of studies and found that children whose mothers used acetaminophen during pregnancy were more likely to be diagnosed with neurodevelopmental disorders. The study adds weight to growing concerns about the drug’s safety in pregnancy.

A new comprehensive analysis published in Environmental Health suggests that children exposed to acetaminophen in the womb may face a heightened risk of developing neurodevelopmental disorders, including...
