Pregnancy: Animal reproduction studies have revealed no evidence of harm to the foetus.
The only adverse effect observed in animal reproductive studies was an increased incidence of abortions in monkeys at 13 times the expected exposure in man. There are no adequate and well controlled studies in pregnant women. Meropenem should not be used in pregnancy unless the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the foetus.
Lactation: Meropenem is detectable at very low concentrations in animal breast milk. Meropenem should not be used in breast-feeding women unless benefit justifies the potential risk to the baby.
