Caption: Trump Links Tylenol to Autism, Sparks Backlash From Medical Experts. US President Donald Trump has sparked controversy by claiming that the pain reliever Tylenol — known as paracetamol outside the US, could be linked to autism, advising doctors not to prescribe it to pregnant women. Trump made the claim on Monday, urging pregnant women to "fight like hell" to avoid taking the drug unless they experience extreme fever. The controversial comments have faced immediate backlash from medical experts, who called the claims dangerous. UK Health Secretary Wes Streeting rejected Trump’s assertions, saying he trusts doctors over the president’s remarks. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists also rejected the link, stressing that there is no conclusive scientific evidence connecting Tylenol use to autism. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) used milder language, advising doctors to limit Tylenol use but acknowledging it remains the safest option for treating fever in pregnant women. Speaking alongside Trump, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said the FDA would review the safety label for Tylenol and launch a public health campaign.
