Canada maintains Tylenol is safe for pregnant women despite US warning
Canadian health officials, for now at least, will not follow the lead of the United States in recommending pregnant women avoid using acetaminophen, more commonly known as Tylenol, after a study indicated it is a contributing factor in the autism epidemic.
According to officials from Health Canada in a September 23 statement, acetaminophen is safe for use for pain and fever during a woman’s pregnancy when used as indicated on the box/bottle.
HOLY SHIT —
Look what Canadian state media was saying about Tylenol use during pregnancy just 5 years ago!
“a growing body of evidence suggest that prenatal exposure to acetaminophen might alter fetal development”
Today? they’re “debunking” Trumps claims! INSANE! pic.twitter.com/9MV13Gvfrl
