Serum nortriptyline levels in nursing mothers and their infants.
The nortriptyline levels of seven depressed mothers and their breast-fed infants were obtained. Nortriptyline was not detected in the infants' sera. However, two of four infants evaluated developed low concentrations of 10-hydroxynortriptyline. No adverse effects were observed.
