<<Mom is having gallbladder trouble and all they were told is  that they are 
putting a radioactive material into her blood for a scan and  that she can't 
breastfeed for 3-4 days.  I haven't had any experience  with this and I have 
Hale's book but I can't figure out which page the info  is on.  For instance, 
is it under radiocontrast agents,  radiopharmaceutical, or radioactive 
half-lives?  I was hoping to find  more information on his webpage but the 
page on radioactive materials is  down.  I am guessing I also need more 
information.  What kind of  information?  I don't even know what to tell them 
to ask.  Can  someone please give me some insight?  THANK YOU!>>

 
 
Find out what  radioactive dye it is and look it up in the index.  The 
radiologist will  tell you or the mother.  You are asking so you can find out 
exactly what  the half life is, and how long mom will need to pump.  Not at all -- 
to  four days (or whatever).
