トランプトランプ政権せいけん“妊婦にんぷが鎮痛ちんつう解熱剤げねつざい 自閉症じへいしょうリスク高たか” 学会がっかいが反対はんたい

The Trump administration in the United States claimed that when pregnant women take acetaminophen, the active ingredient in painkillers and fever reducers, it may increase the risk of autism in their children, and therefore requested that it be avoided except when necessary.

In response, several medical societies have issued statements opposing this, and multiple American media outlets are reporting that it is a decision lacking scientific basis.

The Trump administration in the United States held a press conference on the 22nd and claimed that when pregnant women take acetaminophen, the active ingredient in widely used pain and fever relievers such as Tylenol, it may increase the risk of autism in their children.

President Trump said, I strongly advise against using it except when absolutely necessary.

Additionally, Secretary of Health Kennedy acknowledged that other pain relievers and fever reducers have side effects, and that acetaminophen is often the only option for pregnant women. He added that he would like to recommend that doctors use their best judgment.

On the other hand, some medical societies have issued statements opposing this, including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, which says, More than 20 years of research have not established a causal relationship, and it remains an important and safe option for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. The American Psychiatric Association also states, Autism is a complex disorder, and it is not correct to suggest a causal relationship based on a handful of studies.

It points out that there is strong evidence that it can be used safely during pregnancy if taken as directed.

Multiple American media outlets have reported that this announcement by the Trump administration is a decision lacking scientific basis, and it is likely to cause further controversy.
