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