title: [Breast-feeding and drugs of abuse].
abstract: Drugs of abuse in breast-feeding women and the risk for the baby represent a problem of great concern both from a medical as well as of ethical point of view. Possibilities for the determination of the levels of exposure are discussed. Analysis of the risk for the infant exposure to drugs of abuse excreted in the breast milk is done. The effects of the most important drugs of abuse on breast-fed babies are reviewed.
