Abstract: A means of aiding in the prevention of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is disclosed. The means comprises administering a pharmaceutically effective amount of the drug 6-methylene-6-desoxy-N-cylopryplymethyl-14-hydroxydihydronormorphone to an infant determined to be susceptible to SIDS. The drug is preferably administered bi-daily via the GI tract. The drug attaches to the nerve receptor sites responsible for the actuation of respiration thus blocking the attachment of endogenous endorphins which, if present in high levels, prevents such actuation resulting in apnea and SIDS. A suppository containing the drug for use in carrying out the method is also disclosed.
