Drug Use During Pregnancy: Implications for Maternal and Neonatal Health
Main Article Content
Abstract
Drug use during pregnancy, both legal and illegal, is a growing public health problem that affects pregnant women and has serious repercussions on maternal and neonatal health. This daily consumption of multiple drugs, including socially accepted substances, increases the risk of complications and the development of neonatal abstinence syndrome. It is essential to provide education and specialized care to these women, implementing prevention strategies and a multidisciplinary approach. Lack of knowledge about the management of neonatal abstinence syndrome and breastfeeding in cases of active use are areas of research and action needed to improve maternal and neonatal outcomes. In conclusion, comprehensive intervention and adequate education are required to reduce the risks associated with drug use during pregnancy
