Family Forum / Pregnancy / Breastfeeding / April 2005Hales look up please
Hi, My name is Chrissy I`ve just resubbed to MKB after a 2 1/2 year absence during which I`m happy to say I breastfed DD for 2 + years until she self weaned. We have just had a little boy who is 9 days old and I am having a few health problems. I have a thrombosis in my thigh which is being treated with fraxodi injections every day. My Gp assured me the injections are compatable with bfeeding. I`m getting conflicting info on line however. If someone has access to Hales PLEASE could you look this up for me. Thanks Chrissy <panicking...> > Hi, > My name is Chrissy I`ve just resubbed to MKB after a 2 1/2 year absence [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Thanks > Chrissy <panicking...> Congratulations on your new baby :-). Fradoxi isn't listed under that name - is there another name it's known by? The nearest anti-coagulant I can find in the 2004 ed is Fragmin (aka low dose heparin), listed as an L2 with Paediatric Concerns "Transfer to milk is low. Oral bioavailability is minimal. Side effects remote. No adverse effects were reported". HTH Jean >> Hi, >> My name is Chrissy I`ve just resubbed to MKB after a 2 1/2 year absence [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > low.

I don't think Fraxodi is available in the U.S. I googled it, but unfortunately most of the information I could find is in languages I don't speak (French, Dutch, German). It does look like it is the same class of drug as Fragmin. I didn't see any mention of breastfeeding on this site http://www.doctissimo.fr/medicament-FRAXODI.htm, but again, I don't speak French.

Babelfish (http://babelfish.altavista.com/) translates this page as saying that Fradoxi is low molecular weight heparin which is the same thing as Fragmin, afaics. It does say to consult a doctor before taking it while breastfeeding but most drugs say that anyway. Jean Thanks, I didnt even think about US availability,sorry. The composition is nadroparine calcium at 19 000 UI AXa . I`ve also checked the forums at Tom Hales site, all he says are the older typer heperin drugs are OK. I`ve been told the pill form is not compatable but the injections are. The leaflet says breastfeeding is fine but other online sites say it is not recommended due to lack of info... this is why I`m concerned.

The problem with figuring out the safety of a lot of these drugs during nursing is that there really isn't much information for a lot of them, especially newer ones which it sounds like this one is. I don't know what to say, except that if you do have a deep venous thrombosis in your leg, that is a serious condition itself which should be treated. I do know that the U.S. forms of the injectable heparins are often used during pregnancy, but I haven't had any experience with them in nursing patients. Have you tried calling your pharmacy to see what information they have? I have found that pharmacists tend to be very conservative in saying what is okay and what's not - maybe sometimes too conservative, but it is their job to warn you about everything. Sarah Thanks Sarah, I see hwat you mean. The pharmacist just looked at the leaflet and said 'Yes no problem'. I guess I`m going to have to have some faith and trust the pros. easier said than done for a natrual skeptic :0) Chrissy > "Chrissy" <chris@_spamkiller_chrissypowell.com> wrote in message > > Thanks, I didnt even think about US availability,sorry.
