Indacaterol is an inhaled long-acting beta2 adrenergic agonist used as a bronchodilator in the maintenance treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and moderate to severe asthma. Inhaled administration once daily.

Since the last update we have not found published data on its excretion in breastmilk.

Its pharmacokinetic data (very high percentage of protein binding and very wide volume of distribution) make it highly unlikely that significant quantities will pass into breast milk.

Terbutaline which is a compound closely related to Formoterol is excreted into breast milk in non-significant amount. Salmeterol, another compound with similar characteristics, is also non-significantly excreted. 

Its low oral bioavailability would hamper the pass to the infant’s plasma through the breastmilk ingested.



Several medical societies, experts authors and expert consensus consider the use of inhaled bronchodilators to be safe during breastfeeding. ^{(Amir 2011, National Asthma 2004, Nelson 2001, Ellsworth 1994).}
