Zusammenfassung:Zipeprol hydrochloride is a synthetic antitussive agent that has shown little evidence of addictive potential in animal studies.

We report the specific case of a pregnant woman habituated to zipeprol without evidence of other drug abuse and an abstinence syndrome observed in her newborn infant.
