Acetaminophen during pregnancy: possible consequences for the child?
Acetaminophen is generally considered safe during pregnancy. However, recent studies seem to link its use with some risks for the unborn. The signal has been highlighted by researchers of the University of Bristol and Cardiff, whom analyzed the long-term results of a cohort enrolled at birth (7,796 pregnancies in 1991-1992) and followed beyond school age (2015-2016) within the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children.
