Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

PREGNANCY Teratogenic Effects Pregnancy Category B Cefpodoxime proxetil was neither teratogenic nor embryocidal when administered to rats during organogenesis at doses up to 100 mg/kg/day (2 times the human dose based on mg/m 2 ) or to rabbits at doses up to 30 mg/kg/day (1 to 2 times the human dose based on mg/m 2 ). There are, however, no adequate and well-controlled studies of cefpodoxime proxetil use in pregnant women. Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, this drug should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.
