Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Micronyl? Is Micronyl safe for nursing mother and child? Does Micronyl extracts into breast milk? Does Micronyl has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Micronyl influence milk supply or can Micronyl decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Micronyl usage in lactation
The amounts of inhaled Micronyl excreted into breastmilk are minute and infant exposure is negligible. When taken by mouth, Micronyl is only about 9% bioavailable; bioavailability in the infant is likely to be similarly low for any Micronyl that enters the breastmilk. Most experts consider oral and inhaled corticosteroids, including Micronyl, acceptable to use during breastfeeding.[1][2][3][4][5]
