Dr. Mehmet Oz is urging caution but not alarm after Donald Trump’s controversial Tylenol remarks. Speaking to TMZ, Oz said pregnant women can take Tylenol when necessary, especially to reduce dangerous high fevers.
“If you have a high fever, a doctor will almost certainly prescribe something — Tylenol may be one option,” Oz explained. He stressed that minor aches or low fevers may not require the drug, but insisted it remains the safest option available. “Acetaminophen’s probably your best option, but take it when you really need it.”
Trump had told women to avoid Tylenol entirely, linking it to autism. Health officials, including RFK Jr., offered a more cautious stance. The FDA now plans to review labeling while stressing more research is needed.
Tylenol has long been considered safe during pregnancy by leading medical groups. But the debate has left many mothers confused and worried. Do you think Trump’s comments are causing unnecessary fear, or sparking an overdue discussion on medication safety?
