Pregnancy: Adequate and well-controlled studies have not been performed in pregnant women. Animal studies do not indicate direct or indirect harmful effects with respect to pregnancy, embryo-foetal development, parturition or post-natal development. However, ertapenem should not be used during pregnancy unless the potential benefit outweighs the possible risk to the foetus.
Breast-feeding: Ertapenem is excreted in human milk. Because of the potential for adverse reactions on the infant, mothers should not breast-feed their infants while receiving ertapenem.
Fertility: There are no adequate and well-controlled studies regarding the effect of ertapenem use on fertility in men and women. Preclinical studies do not indicate direct or indirect harmful effects with respect to fertility.
