STATEMENT ON USAGE FOR HIGH RISK GROUPS
Pregnancy: (Pregnancy Category B) There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Potential benefit should justify the potential risk when cefixime is used during pregnancy.
Lactation: It is not known whether cefixime is excreted in human milk. Consideration should be given to discontinuing breastfeeding temporarily during treatment with cefixime.
Children: Safety and efficacy of cefixime in children less than six (6) mos old have not been established.
Renal Impairment: Administer cefixime with caution in the presence of markedly impaired renal function. Modification of usual dosage is not necessary in patients with moderate or severe renal impairment. However, because clinical experience with cefixime under such conditions is limited, close clinical observation and appropriate laboratory studies should be made.
