Resumen

The aim of this article is to review various effects of drug exposure during pregnancy and management of illicit drug use during pregnancy. The problem of substance use/dependence during pregnancy is of focal interest for physicians, researchers and the public health sector, independent of the general consumption of illegal drugs. Both the extent of drug consumption during pregnancy and the effects of maternal drug consumption on the fetus are frequently underestimated. Active substance - abusing pregnant women also experience a number of somatic consequences: they are at a high risk of developing a state of malnutrition and often lack adequate obstetric care.
