Overview
Neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) is a condition that affects newborn babies who have been exposed to certain drugs during pregnancy. It is characterized by a variety of signs and symptoms, including increased irritability, tremors, respiratory distress, poor weight gain, and difficulty eating. NAS is a serious health issue, as it can have long-term effects on cognitive, behavioral, and physical development. Treatment for NAS typically involves pharmacological interventions and supportive care for the infant and their family. Early intervention is key to minimizing the symptoms and long-term consequences of NAS.
