Answer by DrLact: About Rhinocort Allergy usage in lactation

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

Rhinocort Allergy Side Effects in Breastfeeding

None reported with any corticosteroid.
