I am writing a self study module of the month for the staff nurses, and the
topic is Breastfeeding and Medications.  I want it to be up to date, and I am
giving them a lot of information.  One thing I do want to list is medications
that are contraindicated.  The list I have is from the AAP, and lists cocaine,
bromocriptine, cyclophophamide, cyclosporine, doxorubicin, ergotamine, lithium,
methotrexate, psp, phenidione, and the drugs of abuse-amphetamines, heroin,
marijuana, nicotine, phenyclidine.

Is this up to date?  I know there has been some question about lithium being
okay if levels are checked. Are there others?  I got this information from the
Breastfeeding Answer Book.

Any suggestions for writing this module would be appreciated.

Thanks.
