Answer by DrLact: About Ceftaroline anhydrous base usage in lactation

Although no information is available on the use of Ceftaroline anhydrous base 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. Ceftaroline anhydrous base is acceptable in nursing mothers.
