Suggestions made at e-lactancia are done by APILAM team of health professionals, and are based on updated scientific publications. It is not intended to replace the relationship you have with your doctor but to compound it. The pharmaceutical industry contraindicates breastfeeding, mistakenly and without scientific reasons, in most of the drug data sheets.
Your contribution is essential for this service to continue to exist. We need the generosity of people like you who believe in the benefits of breastfeeding.

It is an oxazolinic corticosteroid derivative of prednisolone with mainly glucocorticoid activity equivalent to prednisolone. It is used in rheumatic, collagen, allergic and immune-based diseases. Oral administration.
At the time of last update, we found no published data on its excretion in breast milk.
Its moderately high molecular weight, its wide distribution volume and rapid elimination make it probably safe during breastfeeding, especially in non-chronic use.
It does not interfere with prolactin secretion. (Barbieri 1985)
Until more data on this drug in relation to breastfeeding are known, safer alternatives may be preferable, especially during the neonatal period and in case of prematurity.
