There is an in-depth episode on the Safety of Tylenol (Acetaminophen) and Other OTC Medications During Pregnancy. Acetaminophen is an over-the-counter analgesic for pain relief and an antipyretic, which reduces fever. Acetaminophen is also known by the brand names Tylenol, Paracetamol, and Panadol. That episode covers the recently raised concerns about prenatal acetaminophen use and neurodevelopmental disorders like autism spectrum disorder. If you haven’t listened to that one yet, it provides important background on how this controversy started and what the evidence says. After that episode aired, I received numerous emails from listeners who had additional questions. Let’s take a look at some follow-up questions to navigate some specific scenarios and make an informed choice about acetaminophen.
