Research strengthens evidence of link between paracetamol use in pregnancy and childhood asthma

Evidence suggesting that the risk of childhood asthma associated with prenatal paracetamol exposure may depend on antioxidant genes in the mother has been found by a team of UK scientists. The results of their study -- which strengthens the argument for a causal link between paracetamol exposure in early life and later childhood asthma -- are published online in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.
