No information is available about the use of cefixime during breastfeeding. However, in case of need, there seems no reason to stop breast-feeding during treatment with this antibiotic.
As with other drugs of the same group, it is possible the occurrence of diarrhea or candidiasis.
Warning of the manufacturer:
It is not known if cefixime is excreted in human milk and, consequently, is not recommended its administration to nursing mothers.
