Cefiderocol Levels and Effects while Breastfeeding
Summary of Use during Lactation
Although no information is available on the use of cefiderocol during breastfeeding, cephalosporins are generally not expected to cause adverse effects in breastfed infants. Occasionally disruption of the infant's gastrointestinal flora, resulting in diarrhea or thrush have been reported with cephalosporins, but these effects have not been adequately evaluated. Cefiderocol is acceptable to use in nursing mothers.
