dose of prednisone 2 hr milk levels for prednisolone and prednisone were 1.6
ug/L and 26.7 ugl respectively. doses of 80 mg/day in mothers produce
insignificant absorbtion in infant (<0.1of dose) probably not clinically
significant. in small doses, steroids are not contrindicated in nursing
mothers. whenever possible use low-dose alternatives such as aerosols or
inhalers. following administration, wait at elat 4 hrs. if possibble prior to
feeding infant to reduce exposure. do not apply topically to nipplws due to
absorption by infant...p94 t. hale
