Abstract

We report one case of bradycardia and asystole immediately after the administration of 1 mg atropine and 2 mg neostigmine after the completion of an urgent caesarean section. We attribute this adverse reaction to the treatment of pregnancy-induced hypertension with methyldopa, perhaps facilitated by other drugs employed. Similar reactions have been reported relating to beta-receptor antagonists and tricyclic antidepressants, but not to methyldopa.
