Summary of Use during Lactation
Although no information is available on the use of loracarbef during breastfeeding, beta-lactam antibiotics are generally not expected to cause adverse effects in breastfed infants. Occasionally, disruption of the infant's gastrointestinal flora, resulting in diarrhea or thrush, has been reported with beta-lactams, but these effects have not been adequately evaluated.
