Okay, this isn't a badly-written\u00a0headline from shoddy\u00a0science reporting on HuffPo. It's direct from UCLA on research done there that's being published in JAMA.<\/p>\n

'In a report in the current online edition of JAMA Pediatrics, researchers from the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health show that taking acetaminophen during pregnancy is associated with a higher risk in children of attention-deficity\/hyperactivity disorder and hyperkinetic disorder. The data raises the question of whether the drug should be considered safe for use by pregnant women.'<\/i><\/p>\n

Acetaminophen is the main ingredient in Tylenol and Excedrin, often recommended instead of NSAIDs like aspirin and ibuprofin for pregnant women.<\/p>\n

The research needs further study, but the numbers are pretty high.<\/p>\n

'More than half of all the mothers reported using acetaminophen while pregnant. The researchers found that children whose mothers used acetaminophen during pregnancy were at a 13 percent to 37 percent higher risk of later receiving a hospital diagnosis of hyperkinetic disorder, being treated with ADHD medications or having ADHD-like behaviors at age 7. The longer acetaminophen was taken \u2014 that is, into the second and third trimesters \u2014 the stronger the associations. The risks for hyperkinetic disorder\/ADHD in children were elevated 50 percent or more when the mothers had used the common painkiller for more than 20 weeks in pregnancy.'<\/i><\/p>\n

Were I pregnant at the moment, I'd be laying off the Tylenol until more research is done.<\/p>\n

Interesting. My mother has used Excedrin for as long as I can remember. Perhaps that's a clue on where I got ADHD from…\ufeff<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
