Reproduction studies in rats and rabbits using subcutaneous or topical tetracycline have not revealed evidence of harm to the fetus. There are no adequate or well-controlled studies to date using tetracyclines in pregnant women, and topical preparations containing the drugs should be used in pregnant women only when the possible benefits outweigh the potential risks.
Although it is not known whether tetracyclines are distributed into milk following topical application, the drugs are distributed into milk following systemic administration. Therefore, topical preparations containing tetracyclines probably should not be used in nursing women.
