Acetaminophen use during pregnancy is not likely to raise the risk of having a child with autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability, according to a new study published Friday.

Researchers across Europe reexamined evidence from multiple studies investigating the link between these conditions and the use of paracetamol — called acetaminophen in the United States — and found that these purported associations fell apart after controlling for confounding factors.

Tylenol is linked to liver damage. Happened to my friend.

    Yeah if you take a metric fuck ton of it.

    If you take the recommended dose then you're fine

    Actually not. If you take it continuously at suggested dosage, you will induce liver damage. It's not supposed to be taken beyond a couple of days and the dosage recommended on the label does not consider body mass.
