Anne, I don't have anything to offer you on this medication, but I do have
something on your molecular weight question.  At a medications panel at the
La Leche League of Florida Area Conference that I attended this October, Dr.
Joan Meek gave us the following guideline as to molecular weight; I'm taking
this from her handout:

<200 - freely pass through pores
200-500 - depends on pH and conc. (I think she means concentration)
>500 - little or no passage

I found that little tidbit really interesting, and potentially quite useful.
Hope it helps you.....

If the molecular weight is still in the thousands would it be too large to
pass into milk anyway? I don't have any details on the specifics of this
drug right now. Anyone have this info?

Thanks,
