Answer by DrLact: About Budesonido [INN-Spanish] usage in lactation

The amounts of inhaled Budesonido [INN-Spanish] excreted into breastmilk are minute and infant exposure is negligible. When taken by mouth, Budesonido [INN-Spanish] is only about 9% bioavailable; bioavailability in the infant is likely to be similarly low for any Budesonido [INN-Spanish] that enters the breastmilk. Most experts consider oral and inhaled corticosteroids, including Budesonido [INN-Spanish], acceptable to use during breastfeeding.[1][2][3][4][5]
