Default hales help please

I've just tried to look for something on hales online, usually I log in as
guest and then I am able to search, but the site has been changed a bit and
I can't search at all.

What I'm looking for is what affect eyedrops for glaucoma might have, on
another news group this is the reason a baby has been formula fed from the
start, the specialist saying that as very few women of child bearing age
have glaucoma there is no data so she shouldn't breastfeed.

I found this quite a surprise, now I realise that glaucoma drugs are of
various types and many of them would not be good if taken orally, but I
would have thought the reason they are given as eye drops is to get the drug
straight to the eye and avoid side effects of taking them orally, which is
presumably avoided as the drug just doesn't get into the blood in any
significant quantity. Hale specifically mentions things such as giving
steroids as a nasal spray for certain conditions for similar reasoning.

It's irrelevant for this family now, but I'd really like to get things
straight in my mind, I can imagine soon people will be saying well there is
no research on whether it is ok to wear metal next to your skin and
breastfeed, so you can't wear a watch!

Cheers

Anne

You can still search as guest. You enter in "guests please click here,"
then click search, which brings you to the login page, click "enter as
guest" at the bottom, then click search again and it'll take you to the
search page.

and pressing search

See, I've never had any problems like what you're describing. Maybe it's
your browser? I'm using Firefox.

In any case, if there were specific meds you're trying to look up, I
could help. I don't actually know anything they use for glaucoma except
for marijuana, which I can already tell you isn't compatible with BF.

I was able to do it yesterday as it had worked previously for me, it was
just not behaving on Tuesday.

I don't know what meds it was, I just wanted to look up "eye drops" and
"glaucoma" and see what came up and what the options were, I didn't need
specific info, more an idea of the info, it's really a theoretical question,
I've been chatting on another group and a guy's wife wasn't breastfeeding
due to glaucoma eyedrops and I wanted to find out what the recommendation
was.

Well, let's see. Looking on
http://www.glaucoma.org/treating/medication.html...

Dipivefrin is an L2. Betaxolol is an L3 and Hale mentions that it should
be used with caution, but timolol is an AAP-approved alternative.
Pilocarpine is an L3 but the half-life's only .76-1.55 hours.
Dorzolamide is an L4, but the alternative acetazolamide is an L2,
approved by the AAP. Latanoprost is an L3, and Hale says transfer into
milk is unlikely, half-life less than 30 minutes.

Quite a few of the meds mentioned on that site weren't in my 2002 Hale,
but of the ones I found, none seem to be a real problem except for a
couple that have good alternatives.
