Córdoba sees rise in neonatal withdrawal syndrome; experts warn no safe prenatal dose

Medical specialists in Córdoba report an increase in neonatal abstinence syndrome cases linked to maternal substance use (alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, cocaine). They stress that no safe dose exists during pregnancy, as these substances can cause premature birth, withdrawal symptoms, and neurodevelopmental harm. The trend suggests a growing public-health concern in the region, though prevalence data and causality are not fully detailed.
