Changes in US federal prescribing guidelines are guided by deliberate and transparent processes involving FDA scientists, input from stakeholders, and the public. On September 22, 2025, a White House briefing was held outside of this process where the US President and the FDA Commissioner commented on paracetamol (acetaminophen) and leucovorin in relation to autism spectrum disorder. Rečníci odrádzali od užívania paracetamolu v tehotenstve. Citovali selektívne výskum, ktorý mal spojiť prenatálne užívanie paracetamolu s poruchami nervového vývoja. Nová komunikácia FDA obsahovala podobné tvrdenia o týchto liekoch.
