Pregnancy/Breast Feeding

Pregnancy Category:B

Breastfeeding: Azithromycin should not cause adverse effects in breastfed infants as very small amounts are excreted in breast milk and higher doses of azithromycin are used in infants. Monitor the infant for possible effects on the gastrointestinal flora, such as diarrhea, and candidiasis. Unconfirmed epidemiologic evidence indicates maternal use of macrolide antibiotics during breastfeeding might increase the risk of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis in infants. This information is based upon LactMed database (available at http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?LACT) last accessed 5 Jan 2011. However manufacturer advises caution.
