Fluocinolone acetonide is a corticosteroid with very high glucocorticoid activity, used topically in various inflammatory diseases of the skin, eyes, ears and nose and intravitreally in the treatment of chronic posterior uveitis and diabetic macular oedema.
At the time of the last update, we found no published data on its excretion in breast milk.
Low absorption through the skin makes passage of significant amounts into breast milk unlikely.
If required to treat eczema or nipple dermatosis it is advisable to choose the least potent corticosteroid, apply it just after feeding so that it has been reabsorbed before the next feeding, if necessary remove any residues with gauze and do not use for more than a week at a time.
Mineralcorticoid intoxication has occurred in an infant due to continuous application of a corticoid to the nipple. (De Stefano 1983)
Avoid application of creams, gels and other locally applied products containing paraffin (mineral oil) on the nipple so that they are not absorbed by the infant. (Concin 2008, Noti 2003)
