Re: Imitrex

A recent article was just published concerning the transmission of
sumatriptan into breast milk.  Briefly,  the milk levels were very low,
only about 3.5% of the maternal dose.  Due to the poor oral bioavailability
of this product,  the infants exposure would be very minimal.  If you would
like a nice FAX on the product to give to the doctor its new
document FAXCODE is #1395.
