Peek? Need a answer about medication

my dog has an ear infection. And he got a hold of it and punched a hole in it. i picked it up and gave it to my mother.  i washed my hands off and it says: "clinical and experimental data have demonstrated that corticosteroids administered orally or parentally to animals may induce the first stage of parturition if use during the last trimester of pregnancy and may precipate premature parturition followed by dystocia, fetal death, retained placenta and metritis." is all that just in the thrid trimester? i washed my hands maybe 2 mins after i touched it. did my skin have enough time to absorb it? am i ok?

No, you should be ok.  If you perhaps ate it, that might be a different story, but a brief exposure through the skin, which you washed off right away, won't matter.  All of those drugs can be used in pregnancy in humans, btw.

really? why do they say it can cause all these problems? thats weird. my mom was like i dont think your skin absorbed it so i got worried thanks soo much. but no thankfully i did eat something after touching it. thanks tho for the help!!!!

I don't know why it said that, but dogs are not human, and many medications that can be used in humans cannot be used in dogs and vice versa.  

All three of those drugs can be given in pregnancy.  You only had a brief skin exposure, which you washed off promptly.  Don't worry about it.
