Children's ADHD risk linked to mothers' use of common OTC pain reliever
Fox News
Children could face a risk for developing attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) if their mothers took acetaminophen during pregnancy, researchers have found.
"Compared with no exposure, detection of acetaminophen in maternal blood during pregnancy was linked with three times the likelihood of the child developing ADHD," lead author Brennan Baker, a researcher at Seattle Children’s Research Institute, told Fox News Digital. "What this study does well is push us closer to understanding modifiable prenatal risk factors." "We can never be 100% sure that an association is causal in an observational study like this."
To gather the data, researchers took blood samples from 307 Black women during their second trimester of pregnancy, then tested for markers of the fever-reducing medication.
