I'm looking for info about this newer Low Molecular Weight Heparin called
"innohep." I have done a lactnet search first and came up with no results.
I understand that fragmin and lovenox are also in this category and are
compatible according to Dr.  Hale and Dr. Newman.  I need info on this
particular drug as it is newer and becoming a favorite in some health
centres. The mothers are being told they cannot breastfeed or use expressed
milk while taking the medication. The latest is a mother who's baby
was  born at 29 weeks gest and is one week old.

If the molecular weight is still in the thousands would it be too large to
pass into milk anyway? I don't have any details on the specifics of this
drug right now. Anyone have this info?

Thanks,
