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