Use in Pregnancy & Lactation: The safety of topical corticosteroid use in pregnant women has not been established. Hence, drugs of this class should not be used during pregnancy, unless the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus and such use should not be extensive i.e. in large amounts or for prolonged periods of time. As it is not known whether topical administration of corticosteroids can result in sufficient systemic absorption to produce detectable quantities in breast milk, a decision should be made to discontinue nursing or to discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.
