- Abstract
Risk of neonatal drug withdrawal after intrauterine co-exposure to opioids and psychotropic medications: cohort study. Use of promethazine, gabapentin and clonidine in combination with opioids or opioid agonist therapies among individuals attending a syringe service program. Large-scale, population-based studies have recently identified that gabapentinoids, when used concomitantly with opioids, significantly increase all-cause, drug-related and respiratory depression-related hospital utilization [[19]], risk of neonatal opioid withdrawal [[21]] and, most concerning, risk of opioid-related mortality [[18], [23]-[27]]. 10.1136/bmj.j3326 23 Gomes T, Juurlink DN, Antoniou T.
