Question

I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use HSDB 8279? Is HSDB 8279 safe for nursing mother and child? Does HSDB 8279 extracts into breast milk? Does HSDB 8279 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can HSDB 8279 influence milk supply or can HSDB 8279 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About HSDB 8279 usage in lactation

The amounts of inhaled HSDB 8279 excreted into breastmilk are minute and infant exposure is negligible. When taken by mouth, HSDB 8279 is only about 9% bioavailable; bioavailability in the infant is likely to be similarly low for any HSDB 8279 that enters the breastmilk. Most experts consider oral and inhaled corticosteroids, including HSDB 8279, acceptable to use during breastfeeding.[1][2][3][4][5]
