I think you are right Pat, but Reglan is approved for use in humans, adults
and babies.  So using it in mothers for another purpose is easy to do.  BUT if
a drug is approved for animals, and not humans, that is a different dilemma.
Now as I mentioned before,  I know many vets use drugs that are approved for
humans even though they are not officially approved for animals.  Using
Veterinary drugs for humans without approval is very different.  Can some of
our doctors and pharmacy experts comment on this?
