Ciprofloxacin crosses the placenta. Avoid Cipro during pregnancy unless the potential benefit clearly outweighs the potential risk to the fetus. Discuss alternatives with your doctor.
Ciprofloxacin is excreted in breast milk. While generally considered low risk, carefully weigh the benefits of breastfeeding against the potential for infant exposure to Cipro. Low-dose Cipro may be an option, but monitor your baby for potential side effects like diarrhea or diaper rash. Always consult your doctor before making decisions about breastfeeding while taking Cipro.
