A mother came in to our clinic today.  She is a diabetic who's medication
is being changed to metformin (Novo-metformin).  It's an oral
antiheyperglycemic agent.  Her endocrinologist has advised her to stop
breastfeeding because of the new drug.  I'm sorry that I don't have other
clinical details as to why the drug is being prescribed.  The only info I
can find is in the Drug info book for Health care professionals.

Anyone with any information?  Thanks.
