Question

I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use S 1320? Is S 1320 safe for nursing mother and child? Does S 1320 extracts into breast milk? Does S 1320 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can S 1320 influence milk supply or can S 1320 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About S 1320 usage in lactation

The amounts of inhaled S 1320 excreted into breastmilk are minute and infant exposure is negligible. When taken by mouth, S 1320 is only about 9% bioavailable; bioavailability in the infant is likely to be similarly low for any S 1320 that enters the breastmilk. Most experts consider oral and inhaled corticosteroids, including S 1320, acceptable to use during breastfeeding.[1][2][3][4][5]
