Pregnancy of Erythromycin 250MG TABLET in details

Pregnancy is always a special situation where every action or side effect of the drug varies when compared to a situation of a non-pregnant patient. It is not only because the pregnant woman's metabolism differs due to the hormonal and other changes happened to her, but also because every medicine or its metabolite passes to the baby and shows its action there. The only thing is, be cautious, attentive and well supervised when you take any single drug in pregnancy. The interactions can vary in pregnancy, and the dosage may differ as well. Strict supervision of the Physician is mandatory.

Erythromycin 250MG TABLET crosses the placenta in small amounts. In one study of 11 patients who had detectable Erythromycin 250MG TABLET levels in the serum, 4 infants did not have detectable cord concentrations. The cord concentrations in the remaining 7 infants generally ranged from 1% to 6% of that found in maternal serum. A case of left absence-of-tibia syndrome was reported in an infant whose mother had received Erythromycin 250MG TABLET, ethisterone, and ethinyl estradiol at approximately 4 weeks gestation. Erythromycin 250MG TABLET has been used prior to delivery in women colonized with group B beta-hemolytic streptococcus to reduce infant colonization. No adverse events in the infants have been reported. Erythromycin 250MG TABLET has also been used to treat genital Mycoplasma infection during the first trimester without evidence of fetal adverse effects. Pregnant women receiving Erythromycin 250MG TABLET estolate may be more prone to hepatotoxicity. In one study of women receiving Erythromycin 250MG TABLET estolate between the 22nd and 32nd week of pregnancy, 10% showed abnormal levels of SGOT.

Erythromycin 250MG TABLET has been assigned to pregnancy category B by the FDA. Animal studies failed to reveal evidence of teratogenicity. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention considers Erythromycin 250MG TABLET the drug of choice for treatment of Chlamydia infections in pregnant women. However, Erythromycin 250MG TABLET estolate is considered contraindicated because of drug-related hepatotoxicity. Erythromycin 250MG TABLET should only be given during pregnancy when need has been clearly established.

Erythromycin 250MG TABLET breastfeeding

When a drug is taken when the patient is breast feeding, a part of the drug is secreted in her breast milk and is passed to the baby. The dosage of the medicine to mother and baby are different, and many drugs actions are side effects when you take them without a disease, and what if you the baby takes them without a disease? What if the drug is contraindicated in newborns, infants or children? So, breastfeeding is a very alarming situation when the mother is on medications. Ask your Physician or Pediatrician about the effect of the drug on the baby and how much is excreted in breast milk and if it harms the baby!
