[Lethargy in the course of treatment with ranitidine in a newborn infant].
The neuropsychiatric complications of histamine H2 receptor antagonists are poorly described in children. In this case report, lethargy occurred in a neonate treated with ranitidine. We urge caution when a histamine H2 receptor antagonist needs to be prescribed in such cases.
