He said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration will be notifying physicians over the use of it. Ahn Sung-jin has the details.

Speaking from the Oval Office on Tuesday, alongside the Health and Human Services Secretary, the Food and Drug Administration Commissioner and the director of the National Institutes of Health, Trump said acetaminophen, commonly known by the brand name Tylenol, should only be used for high, unmanageable fevers. "I think you shouldn't take it and you shouldn't take it during the entire pregnancy.

Tylenol is often used as a pain reliever for general fevers and not treating a fever for pregnant women can be dangerous for both the fetus and the mother.

The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology refuted Trump's claim by noting that doctors across the country have consistently identified Tylenol as one of the only safe pain relievers for pregnant women and added that Trump's announcement "is not backed by the full body of scientific evidence" and simplifies the complex genetic causes in children. The group further said there is no conclusive evidence for a causative relationship between Tylenol and autism. Ahn Sung-jin, Arirang News.
