Supartz
Dear Verial,
Supartz injections consist of hyaluronates. It is unlikely for these to enter milk because they are so large in molecular weight that they would not enter the milk compartment easily, and in addition unlikely to be orally absorbed. Therefore, they would probably be of little risk to a breastfed infant.
