Turbuhaler: Pregnancy: Data from approximately 2000 pregnancies have not revealed any increased risk of malformations as a result of treatment with budesonide. Animal studies have shown that glucocorticosteroids can induce malformations, but this is judged not to be relevant for humans with the recommended dosage.
During pregnancy the aim must be the lowest effective dose of budesonide while taking account of the risk of a worsening of the asthma.
Lactation: It is not known whether budesonide passes into breast milk.
Respules: Results from a large prospective epidemiological study and from world-wide post marketing experience indicate no adverse effects of inhaled budesonide during pregnancy on the health of the foetus/newborn child.
As with other drugs the administration of budesonide during pregnancy requires that the benefits for the mother be weighed against the risks for the foetus. Inhaled glucocorticosteroids should be considered for the treatment of asthma because of the lower systemic effects compared with oral glucocorticosteroids required to achieve similar pulmonary responses.
Budesonide is excreted in breast milk. However, at therapeutic doses of Budesonide (BUDECORT RESPULES) Nebulizing Suspension has no effects on the suckling child are anticipated. Budesonide (BUDECORT RESPULES) Nebulizing Suspension can be used during breast-feeding.
