Risk Summary

There are no available data on the effects of PULMICORT RESPULES on the breastfed child or on milk production. Budesonide, like other inhaled corticosteroids, is present in human milk. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for PULMICORT RESPULES and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from PULMICORT RESPULES or from the underlying maternal condition.

Data

Human data with budesonide delivered via dry powder inhaler indicates that the total daily oral dose of budesonide available in breast milk to the infant is approximately 0.3% to 1% of the dose inhaled by the mother.
