Pregnancy/Breast Feeding

Pregnancy Category:C

Breastfeeding: Short-term application of topical corticosteroids is not expected to pose a risk to the breastfed infant by passage into breastmilk. Use of the least potent drug on the smallest area of the mother's skin is recommended. Ensure that the infant's skin does not come into direct contact with the areas treated with this drug. Use of lower potency corticosteroids on the nipple or areola is recommended. Water-miscible cream or gels should be used for application on the breasts. Any topical corticosteroid should be wiped off thoroughly prior to nursing if it is applied to the nipple or areola. This information is based upon LactMed database (available at http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?LACT last accessed 13 April 2011).According to manufacturer’s data, it is not known whether topical administration of mometasone could result in sufficient systemic absorption to produce detectable quantities in breast milk. Hence, caution should be advised while administering to nursing mothers.
