The administration of former President Trump has enthusiastically highlighted a past social media post from Tylenol, where the pharmaceutical firm cautioned against using its products during pregnancy, leading some supporters to proclaim, “President Trump is correct.”
On Wednesday, the official X account for the White House shared a 2017 tweet from Tylenol stating, “We actually don’t recommend using any of our products while pregnant. Thank you for taking the time to voice your concerns today.”
Additionally, the Department of Health and Human Services quickly disseminated a screenshot of the company’s eight-year-old tweet—just days after Trump suggested that pregnant women should refrain from using the over-the-counter pain reliever unless facing a high-risk fever situation.
Kenvue, the parent company of Tylenol, has contended that the resurfaced tweet is being “taken out of context.”
“We do not provide recommendations on medication usage during pregnancy, as that is the domain of healthcare professionals,” the company clarified in a statement regarding the tweet.
“This eight-year-old consumer response is incomplete and does not cover our comprehensive guidance on the safe use of Tylenol, which remains consistent: Acetaminophen is the safest pain relief option for pregnant women if needed throughout their pregnancy.”
Nevertheless, the Trump administration’s remarks about the company sparked an enthusiastic reaction from some MAGA supporters.
One user provocatively remarked on X, “Liberal women, please take as many Tylenols during pregnancy as possible. Prove Trump wrong, okay?”
Another user expressed, “All the pregnant libtards who are currently consuming Tylenol because they oppose Trump might want to stop before they jeopardize their child’s future. It’s been nearly a DECADE since this warning was issued by the company themselves. Why are people upset?”

One individual bluntly stated, “Would you look at that… Trump was right again.”
This reaction followed Trump’s assertion on Monday that studies suggest a potential association between the painkiller and autism in children.
He advised pregnant women to use Tylenol, a common acetaminophen, only when experiencing a high-risk fever.
This recommendation stands in contrast to the stance of several medical groups, who maintain that the medication, which has been available for 70 years, is safe.
Over 50% of pregnant women report taking the drug, as it has historically been regarded as the safest over-the-counter medication.
However, the Trump administration noted an increasing number of studies that imply a link between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and the occurrence of autism in children.
The Food and Drug Administration will revise the acetaminophen label to communicate pregnancy risks and will notify all healthcare providers with warnings following Trump’s announcement.
