Pregnancy/Breast Feeding

Pregnancy Category:B

Breastfeeding: Erythromycin is excreted in breastmilk in small quantities and safely administered directly to infants, hence not expected to cause adverse events in the breastfed infant. Monitor the infant for irritability, diarrhea and candidiasis. As per one case report and unconfirmed epidemiologic evidence the risk of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis in infants might increase by maternal use of erythromycin during breastfeeding. This information is based upon LactMed database (available at http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?LACT). This drug is compatible and considered safe with breastfeeding based upon data from AAP Policy Guidelines (available at http://aappolicy.aappublications.org/cgi/content/full/pediatrics;108/3/776 last accessed 17 February 2011. However manufacturer advises caution.
