Question

I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Beclomethasone? Is Beclomethasone safe for nursing mother and child? Does Beclomethasone extracts into breast milk? Does Beclomethasone has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Beclomethasone influence milk supply or can Beclomethasone decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About Beclomethasone usage in lactation

Although not measured, the amounts of inhaled corticosteroids absorbed into the maternal bloodstream and excreted into breastmilk are probably too small to affect a breastfed infant. Reviewers and an expert panel consider inhaled and oral corticosteroids acceptable to use during breastfeeding.[1][2][3]

Beclomethasone Side Effects in Breastfeeding

None reported with any corticosteroid. Three infants were breastfed for 6 months during maternal treatment with beclomethasone dipropionate by inhaler.[4]
