Hi, All:  I'm a little behind on posts due to a busy week.  Hale (2006) rates this 
medication as an L4, but does not recommend against its use.  He advises 
observing baby for hypoglycemia.  I always instruct moms to tell their 
pediatricians the medications they are on, so that the ped can monitor baby 
more closely for any untowards effects of the mother's medications.
If a mother needs to be on aspirin, for example, she should tell her ped this.  
He may elect to periodically check the baby's clotting times.
