Trump's unfounded autism Tylenol claim

Available for over a year

Doctors in the US will soon be advised not to prescribe the pain reliever Tylenol to pregnant women, US President Donald Trump said, citing a disputed link between the drug and autism. The US President claimed on Monday that taking Tylenol, known as paracetamol elsewhere, "is no good" and that pregnant women should "fight like hell" to only take it in cases of extreme fever. Medical experts have strongly pushed back on the claims, with some calling the President's comments dangerous. Âé¶¹Éç CWR's Vic Minett spoke to GP Dr Sarah Jarvis to discuss further.
