I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use 11beta-Hydroxy-16alpha,17,21-trimethyl-1,4-pregnadien-3,20-dion? Is 11beta-Hydroxy-16alpha,17,21-trimethyl-1,4-pregnadien-3,20-dion safe for nursing mother and child? Does 11beta-Hydroxy-16alpha,17,21-trimethyl-1,4-pregnadien-3,20-dion extracts into breast milk? Does 11beta-Hydroxy-16alpha,17,21-trimethyl-1,4-pregnadien-3,20-dion has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can 11beta-Hydroxy-16alpha,17,21-trimethyl-1,4-pregnadien-3,20-dion influence milk supply or can 11beta-Hydroxy-16alpha,17,21-trimethyl-1,4-pregnadien-3,20-dion decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
No information is available on the ophthalmic use of 11beta-Hydroxy-16alpha,17,21-trimethyl-1,4-pregnadien-3,20-dion during breastfeeding. Because absorption from the eye is limited, ophthalmic 11beta-Hydroxy-16alpha,17,21-trimethyl-1,4-pregnadien-3,20-dion 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.
