Amoxicillin is generally considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, always consult your doctor before taking any medication, including amoxicillin, while pregnant or breastfeeding.
Pregnancy: Studies haven’t shown significant risks to the fetus from amoxicillin use during pregnancy. Your doctor will weigh the benefits of treatment against any potential risks.
Breastfeeding: Small amounts of amoxicillin pass into breast milk. This typically poses minimal risk to the infant, but potential side effects like diarrhea or diaper rash are possible. Your doctor can monitor your baby for any adverse reactions.
