Is it allowed to take Arformoterol during lactation? |

Long-acting bronchodilator. Its high molecular weight and plasma protein binding make excretion into breast milk unlikely Terbutaline which is a related medication is excreted insignificantly in breast milk. Plasma levels after inhalation of Salmeterol which is a related drug are insignificant. Inhaled medication should of choice because a lower dose and fewer excretion into breast milk. |
