Sumamed STD Pregnancy |
||
Sumamed STD crosses the placenta (Ramsey 2003).
The maternal serum half-life of Sumamed STD is unchanged in early pregnancy and decreased at term; however, high concentrations of Sumamed STD are sustained in the myometrium and adipose tissue (Fischer 2012; Ramsey 2003).
Sumamed STD may be used as an alternative or adjunctive prophylactic antibiotic in females undergoing unplanned cesarean delivery (ACOG 199 2018). Sumamed STD is recommended for the treatment of several infections, including chlamydia, gonococcal infections, and Mycobacterium avium complex in pregnant patients (consult current guidelines) (CDC [Workowski 2015]; HHS [OI adult] 2019). Sumamed STD may also be used in certain situations prior to vaginal delivery in females at high risk for endocarditis (ACOG 199 2018).
Sumamed STD is excreted into human milk. The manufacturer recommends that caution be used when administering Sumamed STD to nursing women.
In one lactating woman receiving Sumamed STD 500 mg/day, Sumamed STD milk concentration measured 1.3 and 2.8 mcg/mL 1 hour after the first dose and 30 hours after the third dose, respectively.
