Background:

  • Heroin addiction in pregnant women presents significant challenges.
  • Newborns are at risk of developing Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS).

Observation:

  • NAS manifests with behavioral issues and follows a predictable clinical course.
  • Severity assessment is crucial for determining optimal treatment strategies.

Findings:

  • Paregoric elixir is a primary treatment, potentially combined with phenobarbital for severe cases.
  • Mild NAS can be managed with supportive environmental conditions.
  • Opiate exposure has known pharmacological and physiopathological effects.

Implications:
