Pregnancy and lactation

Pregnancy

Reproduction studies have been performed in animals and no evidence of impaired fertility or harm to fetus due to azithromycin was found. There are, however, no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, azithromycin should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.

Lactation

There are no data on secretion in breast milk. Azithromycin should be administered to a nursing mother only if clearly needed.
