The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

A neonate whose mother had recently taken amitriptyline developed fixed dilated pupils after a modest dose of intravenous atropine. Interaction of atropine with neonatal amitriptyline levels is suggested and evidence of neonatal effects from maternal antidepressant use is examined. There were no neurological sequelae, and the neonate's pupils became reactive again after 7 h.
