This is something that you must discuss with your doctor or health professional. Always tell your doctor if you are taking medications and have become pregnant. Generally, it’s thought to be safe to use salbutamol during pregnancy and breastfeeding. If you have asthma and are planning to become pregnant, it is important that your asthma is well-controlled, and doctors will generally recommend that you continue with salbutamol during pregnancy. Asthma attacks can prevent the baby from getting enough oxygen, which can be very dangerous for the baby. In most cases, the benefit of staying on salbutamol to control your asthma far outweighs any risk of salbutamol harming the baby. However, this is something that you should discuss with your doctor. Salbutamol is also generally thought to be safe to use during breastfeeding – the amount of salbutamol which passes into breast milk is so small that it’s unlikely to harm the baby. Talk to your doctor if you are taking salbutamol and plan to breastfeed your baby.
