Any sitting president has a huge megaphone, as well as devoted supporters, so there may be a high level of confusion now from pregnant women about Tylenol use. What advice do you have for patients who are worried about what could be potential side effects? Yeah. So first advice would be, like I alluded to, we didn't get any new information yesterday or new studies. Second would be, talk to your doctor. Your doctor has you in mind. They are not influenced by politics or anything else. And so talk to your doctor. Ask them questions. We're here to help you navigate these confusing times. And the third thing would be, if we are going to talk about studies, we actually have a really good study from last year, where it was a two-decade-long study, looked at millions of children in a sibling study. And it was essentially the same mom, two siblings. During one pregnancy, they may have taken Tylenol. During the other one, they didn't. And they looked at autism rates, and there was no difference. And so that should be reassuring to mothers, saying, hey, continue to treat that fever and treat that pain. Because that in itself can be bad for the developing baby.

Yeah. The best advice-- talk to your doctor with any questions you have, which is why we speak to our doctor, Owais Durrani. Thanks for being with us. Appreciate your time. Thanks for having me.
