Fundamental aspects of both neurological and reproductive function are established in fetal life, and there is a present increased awareness of the potential effects of fetal exposures on neurodevelopmental and reproductive health of offspring. Experimental and epidemiological research studies strongly suggest that paracetamol and NSAID are endocrine disruptive in the fetus, which could increase the risks of some neurodevelopmental, reproductive, and urogenital disorders. In recent years, there has been an increasing rate of neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD and autism. The original cohort, the Copenhagen Analgesic Study (COPANA), is the first prospective human study designed primarily to assess the effect of fetal exposure to mild analgesics on male and female reproductive function. If the same children are examined with relevant neurobehavioral testing during mid-childhood, the study design allows the investigators to assess the effect of mild analgesics as well as other EDCs on neurodevelopmental health.
