I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Fluorometholonum [INN-Latin]? Is Fluorometholonum [INN-Latin] safe for nursing mother and child? Does Fluorometholonum [INN-Latin] extracts into breast milk? Does Fluorometholonum [INN-Latin] has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Fluorometholonum [INN-Latin] influence milk supply or can Fluorometholonum [INN-Latin] decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
No information is available on the ophthalmic use of Fluorometholonum [INN-Latin] during breastfeeding. Because absorption from the eye is limited, ophthalmic Fluorometholonum [INN-Latin] would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants. To substantially diminish the amount of drug that reaches the breastmilk after using eye drops, place pressure over the tear duct by the corner of the eye for 1 minute or more, then remove the excess solution with an absorbent tissue.
