Drug Levels and Effects

Summary of Use during Lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of tebipenem during breastfeeding. Its excretion into breastmilk is likely similar to that of imipenem and meropenem, which produce low levels in milk that are not expected to cause adverse effects in breastfed infants. Occasionally disruption of the infant's gastrointestinal flora, resulting in diarrhea or thrush has been reported with beta-lactams, but these effects have not been adequately evaluated. Tebipenem is acceptable in nursing mothers.
