Cefamandole Pregnancy and Breastfeeding Warnings
Brand names: Mandol
Cefamandole Pregnancy Warnings
Cefamandole has been assigned to pregnancy category B by the FDA. Animal studies failed to reveal evidence of fetal harm. There are no controlled data in human pregnancies. Cefamandole should only be given during pregnancy when need has been clearly established.
Cefamandole Breastfeeding Warnings
Cefamandole is excreted into human milk in small amounts. Adverse effects in the nursing infant are unlikely. The American Academy of Pediatrics classifies other cephalosporins as compatible with breast-feeding.
