Re : Fragmin
Fragmin is just low molecular weight heparin. Because it is a
polysaccharide fragment of heparin, its molecular weight is large and
varies from 2000-9000 daltons, which would largely preclude its entry into
human milk. Due to minimal oral bioavailability, any present in milk
would not be orally absorbed by the infant.
This and one other variety is in my '99 book.
