Is Cefixime Safe in Breastfeeding

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

This is a third generation Cephalosporin. At latest update relevant data on excretion into breast milk were not found. On other type of Cephalosporin for which there is available information, excretion into breast milk is therapeutically non-significant. Cephalosporin is commonly used in Pediatrics, even in neonates, with a good tolerance, which may be a reason to think that the presence of small amounts in the milk would not represent any harm to the child. Be aware of the possibility of false negative results of bacterial cultures done to infants when the mother is on antibiotics, together with a higher risk of diarrheal disease due to imbalance of intestinal flora.

Although no information is available on the use of cefixime during breastfeeding, cephalosporins are generally not be 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. Cefixime is acceptable in nursing mothers.
