Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration has advised that paracetamol is considered safe for use during pregnancy. The TGA adds that it has no current safety investigations regarding a potential link between the widely-used analgesic and autism. The issue has come under scrutiny after US President Donald Trump claimed that using paracetamol during pregnancy can contribute to a higher risk of autism. Professor Anne-Louise Ponsonby from the Florey Institute for Neuroscience & Mental Health says a number of high-quality studies have consistently found some positive links between Panadol and autism, and the issue merits further investigation.
