Answer by DrLact: About Fluorometolone [DCIT] usage in lactation
No information is available on the ophthalmic use of Fluorometolone [DCIT] during breastfeeding. Because absorption from the eye is limited, ophthalmic Fluorometolone [DCIT] 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.
