Tylenol Investigation: Possible Link to Child Autism, Autistic Disorders, and ADHD from Use During Pregnancy
Do You Qualify?
The U.S. Food & Drug Administration has placed acetaminophen in Pregnancy Category B, reserved for drugs that have not shown a fetal risk. However, Pregnancy Category B drugs have not been subject to controlled studies in pregnant women, or they have been shown to have adverse effects (other than a decrease in fertility) in animal reproduction studies that were not confirmed in controlled studies of women in the first trimester of pregnancy.
There are currently no pain relievers included in Pregnancy Risk Category A, which is reserved for medications that have been deemed completely “safe.”
A John Hopkins study involving samples of umbilical blood obtained from 996 mother-child pairs found that children exposed to higher acetaminophen levels were up to 3.62 times more likely to be diagnosed with autism.
Unfortunately, this isn’t the first study to associate the use of acetaminophen in pregnancy with an increased risk of ASD. In 2018, a metanalysis of seven studies involving 132,178 pairs of mothers and children suggested excessive use of acetaminophen during pregnancy increased a child’s risk of autism by 20%.

More Studies Linking Tylenol Use to Autistic Disorders.
In May 2021, a study conducted by researchers in Spain suggested using Tylenol (acetaminophen) during pregnancy might increase the risk of having a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
The authors analyzed medical records involving more than 73,000 mother-child pairs across Europe, finding that kids exposed to acetaminophen in-utero were 19% more likely to be diagnosed with ASD than those who were not.
While the findings are not definitive proof of a causal relationship between Tylenol and autism, the authors called for more study of the issue. They also recommended that acetaminophen be used in pregnancy “only when necessary.”
Unfortunately, this isn’t the first study to associate the use of acetaminophen in pregnancy with an increased risk of ASD. In 2018, a metanalysis of seven studies involving 132,178 pairs of mothers and children suggested excessive use of acetaminophen during pregnancy increased a child’s risk of autism by 20%.
