Pregnancy/Breast Feeding

Pregnancy Category:C

Breastfeeding: Limited literature indicates that maternal doses of prednisone up to 20 mg/day produce low levels in milk and are unlikely to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants. With high maternal doses, use of prednisolone instead of prednisone and avoiding breastfeeding for 3-4 hrs after a dose is recommended to reduce the dose received by the infant. This information is based upon LactMed database (available at http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?LACT last accessed 19 August 2011. Due to the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants, a decision should be made to discontinue nursing or to discontinue the drug, analyzing the importance of the drug to the mother.
