I had to stop breastfeeding when I was taking Prednisone a month ago (3/15-4/1). I was recently given a Celestone shot and prescribed Clobex and Topicort. I am eager to resume breastfeeding and would like to know when would it be safe to do so.
How long does Celestone, Clobex and Topicort stay in my system and/or affect breastmilk?
I'm hesitant to use Clobex because I read it can affect the adrenal glands in me. Since my 6 month year old is very 'grabby' with her hands these days, I'm worried that the medicine will get on her and affect her as well.
Dermatologist says I can continue using Topicort and breastfeed, but just wait 3 hours after application. Will there still be traces of the drug in my system after 3 hours? I'm concerned because I do have some eczema patches around my breasts and worried that it's absorbed onto the milkducts.
Please advise. Thank you!
