Episode notes
Paracetamol-Pregnancy Claims Need Caution
- Experts say studies linking prenatal paracetamol to autism show correlation, not causation, and the evidence is weak.
- Avoid creating undue fear: managing pregnancy fever with paracetamol is generally safer than leaving fever untreated.
Treat Pregnancy Fever Promptly
- If pregnant with fever, treat the fever; fever poses greater risks to the unborn child than occasional paracetamol use.
- Use paracetamol as a first-line treatment when needed rather than avoiding it out of fear.
Supplement Doses For Heart Health
- For ubiquinol, take 150 mg daily as a baseline for adults and with statins to reduce muscle side effects.
- Use 300 mg daily for heart failure patients and BGAE100 bergamot twice daily for lipid support.
