Use during pregnancy and lactation

Amoxicillin penetrates the placental barrier in small amounts and is excreted in breast milk, which may cause diarrhea and a fungal infection of the mucous membrane in breastfed infants. When it is necessary to use amoxicillin during pregnancy, the expected benefit to the mother should be weighed against the potential risk to the fetus.
During lactation (breastfeeding), amoxicillin should be used with caution.
