Reacción a "Taking paracetamol during pregnancy does not increase the risk of autism or ADHD"

Expectant mothers do not need the stress of questioning whether medicine most commonly used for a headache could have far reaching effects on their child’s health. This thorough and clear study approached the question by conducting both a substantial systematic review of the literature and a meta-analysis of eligible studies. Importantly, it prioritized sibling design studies to account for family history, which is crucial. This confirmed that there is no relationship between taking paracetamol in pregnancy and a higher likelihood of autism, ADHD or intellectual disabilities in the offspring.  While the impact of last year’s announcement has been extensive, I hope the findings of this study bring the matter to a close.
