HI
Thank for asking to HCM
The effects of heroin in baby is very likely and can induces the numbers of defects, so it is called teratogenic effects, particularly if the drug taken at the time of organogenesis, the effect of drug can be detected from the blood of baby and from other material too, if they wanted to do that, have nice day.
