Warnings/Precautions

Pregnancy/Breast Feeding

Pregnancy Category:B

Breastfeeding: Safety unknown. Although no published data exist on the use of cromolyn during lactation, maternal milk levels are likely to be very low and it is expected to be poorly absorbed from the infant's gastrointestinal tract. An expert panel considers use of cromolyn to be acceptable during breastfeeding. This information is based upon LactMed database (available at http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?LACT last accessed 3 December 2010).Manufacturer advises caution when administering to a nursing woman.
