Use during pregnancy and lactation
Clinical studies on the use of clindamycin in women in the first trimester of pregnancy have not been conducted, therefore, the use of clindacin in the first trimester of pregnancy is possible only if the expected benefit to the mother outweighs the risk to the fetus. Use in the II and III trimesters of pregnancy is possible, since no adverse effect on the fetus has been detected.
It is not known whether clindamycin is excreted in human milk, so if it is necessary to prescribe clindacin during lactation, the potential benefits of its use for the mother and the possible risk for the baby should be compared.
