Could I ask your advice please? I am a pharmacist. We have a patient who we are treating with fondaparinux in pregnancy and who would very much like to breastfeed. She cannot have low molecular weight heparins but danaparoid is also a possibility although it is more difficult to give. I have looked through your previous postings and see you have said fondaparinux would be safe previously but I also saw a posting on danaparoid which said you would not give in the first few days postnatally as it might appear in colostrum. Why is this and which of the two drugs would you prefer to give in a breastfeeding mother?
Thanks very much for your help
