Mupirocin for Pregnant and Breastfeeding Women
It is important to know that mupirocin is classified as a category B pregnancy medication. It means:
– Research of the medication in pregnant animals have not suggested a risk for the fetus
– There is not enough research in pregnant women to determine whether the medication may pose a risk for the fetus
If you want to become pregnant or are currently pregnant, consult your healthcare provider to make an informed decision. Only apply it when the benefits outweigh the risks. For breastfeeding women, it is still unclear whether the drug would lead to side effects in children or pass into breast milk. [8]
