President Donald Trump’s announcement Monday advising Americans against taking acetaminophen during pregnancy to avoid the chance of autism was met with pushback from some lawmakers, including a key GOP health figure.
During a news briefing Monday afternoon, Trump’s message to those who are pregnant was clear: “Don’t take Tylenol.”
But Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., who chairs the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, in an appearance Tuesday on the podcast “Mornings with Brian Haldane,” advised patients to discuss the matter with their OB-GYN, saying they should do that with all medications taken during pregnancy.
