Pregnancy of Ceftrum in details

One uncontrolled study of pregnant women between 19 and 21 weeks gestation has suggested that Ceftrum serum concentrations are approximately 50% those expected in nonpregnant women.

Ceftrum has been assigned to pregnancy category B by the FDA. Animal studies have failed to reveal any evidence of teratogenicity. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy. Ceftrum should only be given during pregnancy when need has been clearly established.
