Br J Clin Pharmacol. 2003 Nov;56(5):581-2. doi: 10.1046/j.1365-2125.2003.01906.x.

Abstract

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) have been reported to inhibit serotonin uptake into platelets, resulting in decreased platelet function. We report a case of a large intraventricular haemorrhage in a 6-h-old boy, whose mother used paroxetine during pregnancy.
