Pregnancy: For cefixime, no clinical data on exposed pregnancies are available. Animal studies do not indicate direct or indirect harmful effects with respect to pregnancy, embryonal/foetal development, parturition or postnatal development.
Caution should be exercised when prescribing to pregnant women. Cefixime should not be used in pregnant mothers unless considered essential by the physician.
Breast-feeding: It is unknown whether cefixime is excreted in human milk and non-clinical studies have shown excretion of cefixime in animal milk. A decision on whether to continue/discontinue breast-feeding or to continue/discontinue therapy with cefixime should be made taking into account the benefit of breastfeeding to the child and the benefit of cefixime therapy to the woman. However, until further clinical experience is available, cefixime should not be prescribed to breast-feeding mothers.
