Hello, I am 27 years old and I just had my first baby. But, my asthma became worse during pregnancy because I did not use medications that often (because of the baby). I am breastfeeding now and I would like to know is Primatene mist inhaler safe to use in this period?

I think that it has to be used with a lot of caution. The consultation with a doctor is really necessary, perhaps you can start with some smaller does, but you should know that many medications can end up in your baby’s system because of the breastfeeding. So, there is a risk for your baby, but you must find some way to help yourself also.
