Use of triamcinolone as a nasal spray or local injections, such as for tendinitis, would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants. Expert opinion considers inhaled and oral corticosteroids acceptable to use during breastfeeding.[1,2] Local injections, such as for tendinitis, would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants. Single injections of triamcinolone acetonide into the breast for treating granulomatous mastitis appear to be acceptable.

id="LM267.Summary_of_Use_during_Lactation"><h3>Summary of Use during Lactation</h3><p>Because no information is available on the use of oral triamcinolone during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. Use of triamcinolone as a nasal spray or local injections, such as for tendinitis, would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants. Expert opinion considers inhaled and oral corticosteroids acceptable to use during breastfeeding.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM267.REF.1" rid="LM267.REF.1">1</a>,<a class="bibr" href="#LM267.REF.2" rid="LM267.REF.2">2</a>] Local injections, such as for tendinitis, would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants. Single injections of triamcinolone acetonide into the breast for treating granulomatous mastitis appear to be acceptable. Medium to large doses of corticosteroids given systemically or injected into joints or the breast have been reported to cause temporary reduction of lactation. See also <a href="/books/n/lactmed/LM266/?report=reader">Triamcinolone, Topical</a>.</p></div><div id="LM267.Drug_Levels"><h3>Drug Levels</h3><p><i>Maternal Levels.</i> A woman with idiopathic granulomatous mastitis received an injection of 40 mg of triamcinolone acetonide into erythematous areas of the affected breast. She pumped milk samples 1 and 4 hours after the injection, then daily at the same time of day for 1 week. No triamcinolone acetonide was detected (&#x0003c;0.78 mcg/L) in any of the collected samples.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM267.REF.3" rid="LM267.REF.3">3</a>]</p><p>A woman with granulomatous mastitis was given an injection of 120 mg of triamcinolone acetonide mixed with 6 mL of 2% lidocaine into the affected area of left breast. Milk samples were taken at 0, 14, 73, and 169 hours after the injection. The highest concentration of 24.9 mcg/L of triamcinolone acetonide occurred at 14 hours after the dose. The drug concentration fell to 2.1 mcg/L at 73 hours and was below the detection limit of 0.78 mcg/L at 169 hours. At the worst-case milk concentration, the relative infant dose would be only 0.23% of the maternal weight-adjusted dosage.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM267.REF.4" rid="LM267.REF.4">4</a>]</p><p><i>Infant Levels.</i> Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date.</p></div><div id="LM267.Effects_in_Breastfed_Infants"><h3>Effects in Breastfed Infants</h3><p>None reported with any corticosteroid.</p></div><div id="LM267.Effects_on_Lactation_and_Breastmil"><h3>Effects on Lactation and Breastmilk</h3><p>A mother was nursing her 14-month-old 3 to 7 times daily. She had 5.7 mg of betamethasone sodium phosphate and acetate mixture injected into her shoulder for bursitis with no effect on lactation. Four weeks later, she continued to have pain in her thoracic cervical regions and was diagnosed with neural sensitization. She had 80 to 120 mg of triamcinolone diacetate injected into her cervical and thoracic spine epidurally and into the facets. Three days later, she noticed a decrease in milk supply and a reduced ejection reflex which continued to worsen over the next 5 days. She began using a breast pump with frequent pumping and domperidone as a galactogogue. Her milk slowly increased over several days and was normal by 21 days after the injection when she stopped domperidone. At that time, her serum prolactin levels were elevated.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM267.REF.5" rid="LM267.REF.5">5</a>] The decrease in the mother's milk supply was possibly caused by the corticosteroid injections.

Milk volume was not affected if the infant was delivered less than 3 days or more than 10 days after the mother received the corticosteroid.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM267.REF.9" rid="LM267.REF.9">9</a>] An equivalent dosage regimen of triamcinolone might have the same effect.</p><p>A study of 87 pregnant women found that betamethasone given as above during pregnancy caused a premature stimulation of lactose secretion during pregnancy.

Twenty-four hours after the injection, the patient reported a 90% decrease in lactation as measured by breast pumping before and after the injection. She continued to pump her breasts and began taking fenugreek to stimulate lactation. Within 1 week, her milk supply increased by 50% and by 1 month after the injection, she was able to meet her infants breastfeeding needs.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM267.REF.7" rid="LM267.REF.7">7</a>]</p><p>A woman with idiopathic granulomatous mastitis received an injection of 40 mg of triamcinolone acetonide into erythematous areas of the affected breast.
