Abstract:
Dothiepin induced symptoms of delayed gastric emptying in an elderly lady. Rechallenge studies were undertaken and demonstrated a delay in gastric emptying of liquid after re-administration of dothiepin at a time when plasma concentrations were 93 micrograms/l. Elderly patients may be more susceptible to the anticholinergic effects of tricyclic antidepressants on the gut.
