Inhaled bronchodilator drugs are preferred because of a lower secretion into breast milk.
Answer by DrLact: About Isoetarin usage in lactation
Although no published data exist on the use of Isoetarin during lactation, data from the related drug, terbutaline, indicate that very little is expected to be excreted into breastmilk.[1] The authors of several reviews and an expert panel agree that use of inhaled bronchodilators is acceptable during breastfeeding because of the low bioavailability and maternal serum levels after use.[2][3][4][5][6]
