Use of Cephalosporins During Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Cephalosporins are among the safest antibiotics to use during pregnancy but are not without risks. Each drug is slightly different and may have different side effects. (See also Safety of Medications During Pregnancy .) Use of cephalosporins during breastfeeding is discouraged because these drugs may affect the baby's digestive tract.
