Pregnancy: Reproduction studies in animals (mice and rats) with orally and parenterally administered amoxicillin/clavulanic acid have shown no teratogenic effects. In a single study in women with preterm, premature rupture of the foetal membrane it was reported that prophylactic treatment with amoxicillin/clavulanic acid may be associated with an increased risk of necrotising enterocolitis in neonates. Use should be avoided during pregnancy, unless considered essential by the physician.
Breast-feeding: Moxiclav Bis may be administered during the period of lactation. With the exception of the risk of sensitisation, associated with the excretion of trace quantities in breast milk, there are no detrimental effects for the infant.
