Pregnancy/Breast Feeding

Pregnancy Category:B

Breastfeeding: Metronidazole is excreted in breastmilk. With maternal intravenous and oral therapy, breastfed infants receive metronidazole in doses that are less than those used to treat infections in infants. Candidal infections and diarrhea have been reported in breastfed infants. Oral and rectal colonization might be more common in infants exposed to metronidazole. This information is based upon LactMed database (available at http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?LACT last accessed 18 April 2011). Due to the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants, manufacturer recommends discontinuation of nursing or discontinuation of drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.
