Triamcinolone During Pregnancy
Triamcinolone has been classified by the US FDA as Pregnancy Category C. Corticosteroids have been observed to be teratogenic in many species when given in doses equivalent to the human dose.
Animal studies in which corticosteroids have been given to pregnant mice, rats, and rabbits have yielded an increased incidence of cleft palate in the offspring.
There are no adequate and well-controlled studies conducted in pregnant women. It is not known whether Triamcinolone will harm an unborn baby. Corticosteroids should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using this medication. Do not use this medicine without your doctor's consent in case you are pregnant. Stop using this medication and inform your doctor immediately if you become pregnant during treatment.
Nursing Considerations
Triamcinolone can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Systemically administered corticosteroids appear in human milk and could suppress growth, interfere with endogenous corticosteroid production, or cause other untoward effects.
Do not use this medication without informing your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby. Triamcinolone can affect growth in children. Talk with your doctor if you think your child is not growing at a normal rate while using Triamcinolone tablets.
