No such drug in my book.  But, I repeat.  Why this drug, when there
are literally dozens of drugs, compatible with breastfeeding which
could be used?  Diuretic?  Hydrochlorthiazide.  Beta blocker?
Propranalol.  ACE inhibitor? Captopril.  Calcium channel blocker?
Nifedipine.

When are doctors going to learn that the newest drug is not
necessarily the best, just the one the drug company wants to sell
(because they have a patent and monopoly on it).
