(Reuters)-US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. It is planning to report that the use of popular Kenvue through over -the -counter pain medication in pregnant women may be associated with autism, the Wall Street Journal said Friday, quoting people familiar with the issue without extinguishing evidence of this requirement.
The Kennedy report will also offer a medicine derived from folate called folic acid, some people may be used to treat autism symptoms, WSJ said.
After the report, Kenvue shares decreased by 14%. Tylenol, whose active ingredient is acetaminophen, is a widely used pain relief, including pregnant women.
Kenvue said in a statement that she thought there was no causal link between the use of tylenol during pregnancy and autism. The company advises that mothers will talk to health care professionals before using non -exchanges, including Tylenol.
The US Food and Pharmaceutical Administration and the leading medical organizations agree on the safety of acetaminophen, its use during pregnancy and the label, the company said.
Kennedy promised to find the cause of autism and has long offered that she was associated with vaccines without scientific evidence. He also stated that this should be related to the “environmental toxin”. The decades of the school have yet to determine the end cause.
In Kennedy, National Health Institutes are conducting an autism data science initiative aimed at digging large sets of data to examine possible participants in autism and evaluate the results of existing treatments. Investigators made more than 100 offers to participate in $ 50 million.
The WSJ said the report is likely to emphasize how low folio, important vitamin and silenol, taken during pregnancy, can be the potential cause of autism.
“It is surprising to me that this report should reveal all these new reasons, and so far we are learning that they are using existing research again,” said dr. David Mandell.
“We do not understand why there may be a biological reason that Tylenol will cause autism.”
2023 December The US federal judge hit hundreds of lawsuits claiming that Tylenol could cause autism if mothers take it during pregnancy, which banned witnesses to testify when they lack scientific evidence of their claims.
In August last year, by quoting this ruling, the judge dismissed all cases in the Federal Court. The court’s records, the US Appeal, heard the arguments on appeal decisions on this ruling next month.
“We use the science of gold standards to get to the bottom of an unprecedented increase in American autism. Until we release the final report, any statement of its content is nothing more than speculation,” HHS spokesman said.
The antivaccin group is predicted
Children’s health defense, antiacacin group, previously led by Kennedy, has been published several times in recent weeks on the social media site about a possible relationship between silenol and autism.
In the latest video published in X, he hopes that Kennedy’s autism report will hit Tylenol, but also the chief research officer of vaccines and vaccine components Brian Hooker.
CHD cites August. A published study of evidence of the relationship between pregnant women acetaminophen and neurodevelopment disorders such as autism in their offspring.
Scientists recommended medical guidelines for pregnant women to use the lowest possible dose for the shortest time.
They noted that more research is needed to confirm any connection, and that pregnant women’s inability to treat fever can cause other fetal problems such as nerve tube defects.
Other studies did not find a link. 2024. A study published in a magazine of the American Medical Association attended by 2.4 million children born in Sweden found no evidence to support the causal link.
“There is no clear evidence to prove a direct relationship between the use of intelligent acetaminophen during pregnancy and fetal development,” said Christopher Zahn, a head of clinical practice of American obstetricians and gynecologists.
