Serious side effects to the mother, fetus or newborn have not been reported, but the potential of harm exists. Therefore, risk-benefit must be carefully considered when this medication is required in life-threatening situations or in serious disease for which other medications cannot be used or are ineffective.
If netilmicin is used during pregnancy or if the patient becomes pregnant while taking netilmicin, the patient should be apprised of the potential hazard to the fetus.
Lactation: Small amounts of netilmicin are excreted in breast milk. Decision should be made whether to discontinue breastfeeding or to discontinue the drug, taking to account the importance of the drug to the mother.
