The fact that there doesn't seem to be information about this drug anywhere
means that it is brand new (It is also not in the Compendium of
Pharmaceutical Specialities--Canadian version of the CPS).  If it is a non
steroidal antiinflammatory drug, it is probably not better or superior to
any other of the dozens of those around, including motrin.  Why use the
hottest newest drug which is likely to be more expensive (the patent likely
not to have run out)?  She should ask the doctor why this drug?  If the
doctor cannot provide a good answer, and especially cannot say if it is safe
during breastfeeding, he should simply prescribe something else.
