The neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) is a potentially
life threatening illness associated with significant morbidity
especially in the neonatal period. A case of NAS due to codeine
prescribed for pain relief during pregnancy is reported.
Clinicians should be aware that narcotic derivatives
prescribed in late pregnancy can give rise to this type of problem.
