Pregnancy: (Pregnancy Category B).
Capsule: Reproduction studies performed in mice and rats up to 400 times the human dose have not revealed evidence of harm to the fetus. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women, and the drug should be used during pregnancy only when clearly needed.
Granules for oral suspension: There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Potential benefit should justify the potential risk when cefixime is used during pregnancy.
Labor and Delivery: The effect of cefixime in labor and delivery is unknown.
Lactation: It is not known whether cefixime is excreted in human milk. Consideration should be given discontinuing breastfeeding temporarily during treatment with cefixime.
