A new study published in the British Medical Journal confirms that there is no proven link between the administration of paracetamol during pregnancy and autism or ADHD.

A recent study published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) concludes that there is no evidence to support a link between the administration of paracetamol during pregnancy and the occurrence of autistic disorders or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children. This research debunks claims made by Donald Trump, who suggested that paracetamol could be responsible for these disorders.

The study emphasizes that the available data is insufficient and that most previous research suggesting a link has poor quality. Additionally, the World Health Organization has reaffirmed the lack of evidence in this regard. The BMJ study does not present new research but compiles and analyzes existing knowledge, confirming the scientific consensus that paracetamol remains the preferred analgesic for pregnant women. Criticisms of previous studies focus on the neglect of other factors, such as genetic predispositions.
