It is *incredible* that physicians will be using these highpowered,
high cost drugs, and not know about the pharmacology of these drugs.
In the first place, they are *too big* to get into the milk.
Secondly, the oral absorption is probably virtually zero.  Dr. Hale
has put on Lactnet, that these drugs are virtually undetectable in the
milk.

Of interest, is that interferon is present in breastmilk anyhow.  It
is also safe except in huge doses.  There is some evidence that
breastfeeding protects against multiple sclerosis.

I think the physicians should check things out, as Dr. Cordes says,
before they make pronouncements.  I just did, even though I was sure
of what I was saying.
