Use in Pregnancy: Pregnancy Category B. Reproduction studies have been performed in rats and mice at doses up to 3200 mg/kg/day (23 times the recommended maximum human dose based on mg/m3) and have revealed no evidence of harm to the fetus due to cefuroxime axetil. There are however, no adequate and well-controlled studies 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.
As safety in human pregnancy has not been established, cefuroxime should not be administered to pregnant women or women of childbearing potential unless therapeutic benefit is considered to exceed the possible risk.
Use in Lactation: Because cefuroxime axetil is excreted in human milk, consideration should be given in discontinuing nursing temporarily during drug treatment with cefuroxime axetil.
As cefuroxime is excreted in human milk, caution is required when Cimex is administered to a nursing mother.
