In an unprecedented move, the Food and Drug Administration has reapproved a medication that has not been available for over 25 years. This decision aligns with the Trump administration’s initiative to identify potential causes and treatments for autism.

The recently reapproved drug, GSK’s Wellcovorin, is a branded formulation of leucovorin, a widely used generic medication generally prescribed to alleviate side effects associated with certain cancer treatments.

During a dedicated autism event at the White House, President Trump and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. revealed that their administration is investigating the use of leucovorin as a possible therapy for autism. They also highlighted concerns regarding the use of Tylenol during pregnancy, which they suggest may be linked to autism.
