Re: Imitrex
A recent article was just published concerning the transmission of
sumatriptan into breast milk. Briefly, the milk levels were very low,
only about 3.5% of the maternal dose. Due to the poor oral bioavailability
of this product, the infants exposure would be very minimal. If you would
like a nice FAX on the product to give to the doctor its new
document FAXCODE is #1395.
