Enantiomer of Salbutamol, bronchodilator with similar characteristics to Terbutaline. use in asthma. Inhaled administration.
At the date of last update we did not find published data on its excretion in breast milk.
Its wide distribution volume and the fact that, after inhalation, it reaches very low or undetectable plasma concentrations (Hale) make the passage to milk of significant amounts very improbable.
Terbutaline, a molecule of the same family, is excreted in negligible quantities in breast milk.
Several medical societies and expert authors consider the use of inhaled bronchodilators safe during lactation due to low maternal serum levels (Lactmed, Bendien 2024, Amir 2011, National Asthma 2004, Nelson 2001, Ellsworth 1994)
