Long-acting bronchodilator such as salmeterol that, when inhaled, does not reach plasma in significant quantities.
Since the last update we have not found any published data on its excretion in breast milk.
Its pharmacokinetic data: low molecular weight, low protein binding and long half-life (Yang 2015) makes transfer to milk possible in amounts that could be significant.
Clenbuterol does not alter prolactin levels (Laakmann 1990).
Due to its long half-life, its potential toxicity and illegal uses in veterinary medicine and sports (Woolum 2020) it is not commercialized in several countries. and safer known alternatives are preferred, especially during the neonatal period and in case of prematurity.
Inhaled bronchodilator drugs are preferred because of a lower secretion into breast milk.
