Pasta???[edit]

Under the "Pregnancy and lactation" heading, there's a really confusing statement:

"Pasta should not be used in the first trimester of pregnancy."

I've never heard of a pasta/pregnancy/pharmaceutical interaction before. I can't help but think that this is not what was meant, but I can't for the life of me figure out what it should say. I don't know enough about pharmacology to hazard a reasonable guess. Even if 'pasta' really is the right word there, that just means that this statement badly needs explanation and a citation, because it's completely nonsensical on the surface.

The article also needs info added about how neither this active ingredient, nor any product containing it, is any longer available in the US for medicinal purposes, but I'm willing to do that myself if I can find a suitable reference.

Update: A survey of my usual drug info sources has failed to turn up anything relevant. Not only did I not find any reference to pasta, but I also found no information regarding any known specific pregnancy issues with chloroxine. According to the official FDA prescribing information for Capitrol, no pregnancy studies have been performed on animals or humans for chloroxine topical at all. Similarly, the patient information for Endiaron (English translation via Google), the oral form available only in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, appears to indicate that pregnancy studies for the oral form also have never been done.

Based on this lack of substantiation for this unsourced statement, I am removing it. Other edits are still pending a source for discontinuation date of Capitrol.
