Question

I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Zerbaxa? Is Zerbaxa safe for nursing mother and child? Does Zerbaxa extracts into breast milk? Does Zerbaxa has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Zerbaxa influence milk supply or can Zerbaxa decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About Zerbaxa usage in lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of ceftolozane-tazobactam during breastfeeding. No serious adverse effects have been reported for other cephalosporin antibiotics during breastfeeding. 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. Ceftolozane-tazobactam is acceptable in nursing mothers.
