NEW FROM THE NATIONAL LIBRARY OF MEDICINE

LactMed is a new database from the USA National Library of Medicine. It is part of their TOXNET system. It is aimed at the medical profession and the nursing mother and contains over 450 records on the level of compatibility of the drug with breastfeeding and alternate drugs to consider. It was developed by a pharmacist. There is also a glossary of terms and links to other breastfeeding resources.
