Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility

Pregnancy

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicinal product.

Clindamycin crosses the placental barrier in humans. In clinical studies with pregnant women, systemic administration of clindamycin during the second and third trimesters has not been associated with an increased frequency of congenital anomalies. There are no sufficient and well-controlled studies with pregnant women during the first trimester of pregnancy.

Therefore, clindamycin should not be used during pregnancy unless it is strictly necessary.

Breastfeeding

Clindamycin is excreted in breast milk after oral or intravenous administration. Due to the potential for serious adverse reactions in the breastfed infant, the use of clindamycin is contraindicated during breastfeeding.

Driving and using machines
