Except so does every other darn preparation under the sun.  I personally
just got started on albuterol inhaler because I have some wheezing going
on.  The sheet from the pharmacy says <insert overly-dramatic drum roll>
"Do not use while breastfeeding!"  Now, I just so happen to be the proud
owner of Hale's book.  3 editions of it, even.  Not even in my defunct
99 edition does it say "Do not use while breastfeeding!"  As a matter of
fact, he has that particular drugs classed as L1 and indicates that <10%
is absorbed systemically when used via inhalation.  I also believe my
Synthroid sheet says not to use while breastfeeding; I'll have to look
next time they include one.  (They don't every time since it is a
recurring.)  Synthroid is pregnancy category A (safest), has a L1
rating, and also AAP approval.

I'm of half a mind to go feed someone a piece of mine sometime soon.
