Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, PMU Salzburg, Austria Little is known about the use of antipsychotics in pregnancy and the corresponding plasma levels in the newborn child. We report on a woman with schizophrenia treated with olanzapine during pregnancy. Plasma levels of olanzapine were assessed both from the mother and from umbilical cord. The plasma level of the newborn (11 ng/mL) was about one third compared to the mother (range 25—34 ng/mL).The development of the fetus, delivery and the development of the child during the first six months were normal.
