Chandigarh: If a pregnant woman has appeared paracetamol, her newborn may suffer from asthma.
The latest review of systematic studies found the relationship between the exposure to the in-Utero paracetamol (before birth) and the development of children’s asthma.

Seeing this association, many observational studies carried out,” said Dr.
Manvi Singh, the lead author of the research from the Telemedicine Department, PGI.
However, the association does not imply a cause and thus the cure has not been seen as the culprit for respiratory diseases, although research has found a correlation.
This study has been published in the ‘pediatric pulmonology’ and has been carried out in collaboration by the Pediatric Department, Telemedicine Department, PGI, Glasgow University, Scotland and Economic Research and Results, Smartanalyst Pvt Ltd, Hyderabad.

Associations were found based on this study, but did not imply the causes of asthma,” said Dr.
Manvi Singh.
