Antibiotics: In Pregnancy and Lactation

Antibiotics are frequently recommended during pregnancy. The specific medication must be chosen carefully, however. Some antibiotics are prescribed to take during pregnancy, while others are not. Safety depends on various factors, including the type of antibiotic, when in pregnancy you take the antibiotic, how much you take and for how long. Antibiotics normally advised safe during pregnancy:  Ampicillin, Amoxicillin, Clindamycin, Erythromycin, Penicillin, Nitrofurantoin. Despite there's no direct clue that these antibiotics cause birth defects, additional research is needed. In the interim, use of these medications is still assured in some cases. The use of most antibiotics is considered compatible with breast feeding. Penicillins, aminopenicillins, clavulanic acid, cephalosporins, macrolides and metronidazole at dosages at the low end of the recommended dosage range are considered appropriate for use for lactating women.
