Nursing Mothers: Systemically administered cortiocosteroids appear in human milk and could suppress growth, interfere with endogenous corticosteroids production, or cause other effects. It is not known whether topical administration of corticosteroids could result in sufficient systemic absorption to produce detectable quatities in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when clotrimazole dipropionate cream is administered to a nursing woman.
