Full Prescribing Info
Use In Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnancy: Pregnancy Category C. There are no adequate and well controlled studies to date using levofloxacin in pregnant women. The drug should not be used in pregnant women unless the potential benefits justify the potential risks to the fetus (see Precautions).
Lactation: Levofloxacin has not been measured in human milk. However, based on the ofloxacin data, it can be presumed that levofloxacin will be excreted in human milk. Therefore, a decision should be made whether to discontinue breastfeeding or to discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother as well as the possible serious adverse effects to the infant.
