Researchers reviewed dozens of studies and found that children whose mothers used acetaminophen during pregnancy were more likely to be diagnosed with neurodevelopmental disorders. The study adds weight to growing concerns about the drug’s safety in pregnancy.

A new comprehensive analysis published in Environmental Health suggests that children exposed to acetaminophen in the womb may face a heightened risk of developing neurodevelopmental disorders, including...
