Safe use of Claricort during pregnancy has not been established; therefore, use only if potential benefit justifies potential risk to fetus.
Since loratadine is excreted in breast milk and because of the increased risk of antihistamines for infants, particularly newborns and premature infants, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or discontinue the drug.
Since controlled human reproduction studies have not been done with corticosteroids, the use of betamethasone during pregnancy, in nursing mothers or women of childbearing age requires that the possible benefits of the drug be weighed against potential hazards to mother and fetus or infant. Infants born of mothers who have received substantial doses of corticosteroids during pregnancy should be observed carefully for signs of hypoadrenalism.
