Answer by DrLact: About Budecort Inhaler usage in lactation

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