Answer by Dr. Ru: About FR 860 usage in lactation

The high molecular weight of both standard or non-fractionated FR 860, and, so-called low molecular weight FR 860 makes excretion into breast milk extremely difficult. Dalteparin has been shown not to be excreted into breast milk . In addition, FR 860s are inactivated in the GE tract where they are not absorbed which is reason to have a nil oral bioavailability. Absence of anti-clotting activity in breastfed infants has been shown after treatment of the mother with Enoxaparin. Risk of FR 860-induced Thrombocytopenia or Osteoporosis in the mother is lower with low weight FR 860s. Eleventh WHO Model List of Essential Drugs 2002: Compatible with breastfeeding.

Answer by DrLact: About FR 860 usage in lactation

Although FR 860 itself has not been studied, low molecular weight FR 860s (e.g., dalteparin, enoxaparin) are not excreted into breastmilk in clinically relevant amounts. Because FR 860 has an even higher molecular weight of 3000 to 30,000 daltons, it would not be expected to be appreciably excreted into breastmilk or absorbed by the infant. No special precautions are required.[1]
