Dear Dr. Hale,
Thanks for the info. Those were my sentiments exactly. Apparently someone
in her family, a healthy man, has been receiving this rx just to "get
healthier." I am pretty uninformed about the benefits to an otherwise
healthy, nonpregnant person. I thought it was just used for lead poisoning,
etc. and certainly not for a bf mom! I guess it is the newest "preventive
modality on the market." I spoke to the mother advising to rethink her
decision and she said she won't do it "for a while." I wil follow-up with
her for sure.
Thanks again.
