In September, Donald Trump sparked a public health crisis when he claimed there was a link between the prenatal use of Tylenol and autism. The health and scientific community was quick to respond, citing studies that debunked his claims, but has the harm already been done? Nam Kiwanuka speaks with Dr. Rebecca Titman and pharmacist Najla Tabbara, who work at a clinic that addresses pain during pregnancy, at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto. They discuss the reasons why acetaminophen is recommended during pregnancy and why other medication shouldn't be used; and how doctors know it's safe to use.
