Hyaluronic Acid

[Joy Heads]

Called Macrolane in Australia.
This drug has recently been used to enhance/augment breast tissue.
Page 506 Meds & mothers Milk 2010 says L3 "minimal to nil transfer in breast milk".

Does this also include direct injections into the breast tissue ?

Dear Joy,
Direct injections of hyaluronic acid into the breast tissue would also probably be safe. The oral bioavailability of hyaluronic acid is nil and therefore even if it were to transfer into milk, it would not be readily absorbed by the baby's GI tract. Hope this is helpful.
Sincerely,
