United States:<\/strong> Based on the latest finding, there is not really an association between the use of opioids anymore during pregnancy as prescribed by health authorities and the possibility of a child being born with developmental conditions, such as ADHD. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dong Keon Yon, the research team lead and a professor of pediatrics at Kyung Hee University<\/a> College of Medicine in Seoul, South Korea, said, “A slightly increased risk of neuropsychiatric disorders was found, but this should not be considered clinically meaningful.” It is because the range of the disorder was limited to mothers who are on more than one opioid, which is often high doses, prescribed for a long period of time.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC<\/a>), around 7 percent of women in the US are asked to take Opioids when being pregnant.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to previous studies, mixed findings regarding opioids taken during pregnancy have been noticed and about many health-related problems in children<\/a>. However, those studies were mostly based on small size of samples and short follow-up periods.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nMore about the study\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
