Open publisher page 19 citations

Abstract

Naloxone at dose levels of 5 mcg./kg. appears to be in the infant, as in the adult, an effective narcotic antagonist. Doses up to 10 mcg./kg., although they reveal no further statistically consistent antagonistic properties, reveal no agonistic tendencies.
