TY - JOUR PY - 1996// TI - Diphenhydramine overdose during pregnancy: lessons from the past JO - American journal of obstetrics and gynecology A1 - Brost, B. C. A1 - Scardo, J. A. A1 - Newman, R. B. SP - 1376 EP - 1377 VL - 175 IS - 5 N2 - A primigravid woman was seen for the first time in a disoriented and combative state, with regular, painful uterine contractions. Evaluation revealed a negative illicit drug screen, no evidence of preeclampsia, and a nonfocal neurologic examination. Further workup revealed urinary diphenhydramine levels suggesting drug overdose. This case serves as a reminder of the oxytocin-like effects of diphenhydramine.
