Debbie,

Metroniazole (Flagyl) can be given in one megadose of (I think) 2000 or 2500
gm, pump & dump for 24 hours.  Or, send her to Australia where they very
reasonably have moms on the drug and continue to bf.  Arghh!!

The use of bromocriptine as a lactation suppressant is no longer approved by
the FDA.  THere has been a ton of information in the literature, in the
paper, even in the JHL & Globe r/t that issue.  Next time one of the ER docs
tries to hand it out, ask him if he would like to be the recipient of a
lawsuit if the woman has a stroke while he is giving a drug for which there
is no longer approval for that indication.  If he doesn't believe you, have
him contact Sandoz.

Jan B.  Frustrated with docs who don't read the literature -- or even the
newspaper!  And frustrated with the family practice doc who told a mom to
wean so she could take Advil for her pleurisy!!  Double ARGHH!
