Abstract

The study addressed cocaine use during pregnancy as a complex problem, involving biomedical, social, legal and ethical factors. It analysed how this substance affected maternal and foetal health, causing obstetric complications such as hypertension, premature birth and intrauterine growth retardation. In addition, the barriers faced by pregnant women in accessing health services due to stigmatisation and fear of legal reprisals were described. The Argentine regulatory framework was also examined, which, although it recognised consumption as a health issue, failed to prevent punitive practices in reality. Finally, the need to implement inclusive public policies, centred on comprehensive support and respectful of human and reproductive rights, was highlighted.
