💊 Liver injuries caused by external substances have increased substantially in the US over the past 25 years.
💊 Acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol, is the primary culprit, causing over 33% of reported injuries in men and 45% in women, despite being an effective pain reliever when used as directed.
💊 Between 2000 and 2024, about 220,000 lab-confirmed liver injuries linked to foreign substances were reported, with the rate increasing from 10.9 to 52.9 exposures per million people, leading to hospitalizations in over 80% of cases.

Girls born to mothers who took acetaminophen (paracetamol) during pregnancy exhibited smaller uteri (−13%) & ovaries (−40%), fewer ovarian follicles (−23%), and lower levels of anti-Müllerian hormone, which could affect fertility later in life. This replicates…
* 🤰 A new study suggests potential reproductive organ changes in baby girls exposed to acetaminophen during pregnancy, though cause and effect are not established.
* 👶 The research, involving 685 women in Denmark, found girls exposed in the womb had smaller ovarian and uterine volumes, and fewer ovarian follicles, but long-term fertility impact is unknown.
* ⚠️ Experts, including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), emphasize that current clinical recommendations for acetaminophen use in pregnancy should not change, stressing it remains one of the safest options when needed and advised by a doctor.
