Sadly, Nancy informed us that:

<<  Due to 1 death on the
 IV formulation years ago, the FDA has made them jump through too many hoops,
 and they are abandoning the effort to have it approved.  They will not
 reconsider for an alternate indication (ie as a galactogogue). >>

Shall we discuss Viagra?  No?  I thought not.

Sigh.  Why, pray tell, if it is a drug to ummmm -- shall we say ---- "assist"
men, despite deaths and so on, it's still out there, humming along.  But ask
for a drug to assist breastfeeding mothers AND babies!!! -- and the effot to
have it approved is abandoned due to ONE death on the *IV* formulation!!!

ARGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Jan B -- who has vented in very hot Wheaton, and doesn't feel a mite better.
Just madder.  And hotter.
