Abstract
Neonatal withdrawal from maternal drugs and medications is not uncommon. Codeine-containing analgesic preparations given to pregnant mothers for headache have been identified as a cause of neonatal withdrawal syndrome. The present case highlights the importance of obtaining a detailed maternal drug history including prescription and nonprescription drugs, and highlights the need for prenatal counselling for women who are taking narcotic-containing analgesics.Entities:
