Use of pain reliever in pregnancy may linked to risk of ADHD

I only get to know ADHD this term when 1 of my ex-colleagues was diagnosed with it at the age of around 30. He will lack concentration and cannot control his temper, which I hearsay from other colleagues who worked closely with him. The article with ADHD hence caught my attention.

The new discovery is that use of pain reliever Acetaminophen used in pregnancy is linked to increase risk of attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder in children. However more studies are needed to confirm this. Guess researchers are trying to find out what is the cause of the worldwide increase of ADHD cases which is a neuro-behavioural condition
