4.6 Pregnancy and lactation
Human experience with oral erythromycin suggests that erythromycin can cause congenital malformations, such as cardiovascular malformations and pyloric stenosis, when administered during pregnancy.
Animal studies do not indicate direct or indirect harmful effects with respect to reproductive toxicity (see section 5.3).
Zineryt® should not be used during pregnancy unless the clinical condition of the woman requires treatment with erythromycin.
It is recommended that the preparation should only be used with caution in lactating women who are breast feeding, and on areas away from the chest.
