Most medicines are safe to take while you are breastfeeding because they do not pass into your breast milk. Even if the medicine does enter your milk, it is usually in such a small amount that it will not affect your baby. Breastfeeding mothers rarely have to stop breastfeeding because they are taking medicines.

It is not well studied about the effect on baby. One single tablet will not harm baby. But you need to confirm your diagnosis first. Inhalers are better solution than this.
