Paracetamol Pregnancy, Causes Asthma In Babies?

Pregnant women who take paracetamol to relieve pain or fever, increased the risk of babies suffering from asthma, according to new research.

However, this research has not yet become a warning or a ban on pregnant women to take paracetamol, because the drug is still a relatively safe drug for pregnant women when compared with other drugs according to Richard Beasley, MD, researcher from the Institute of Medical Research, New Zealand.

What remains unclear from the results of this research is, the relationship between the use of pain relievers with asthma whether a causal relationship or not.

However, the results of this study remind doctors not to give drugs that do not need to pregnant women. Nevertheless, the recommendations of safe drugs during pregnancy has not been changed until today.

Paracetamol is now the main option that is given to pregnant women for pain relief and fever.
