Pregnancy
There are insufficient human data to establish whether there is drug-associated risk with therapy in pregnant women; systemic absorption of mupirocin through intact human skin is minimal following topical administration of mupirocin ointment; no developmental toxicity was observed in rats or rabbits treated with mupirocin subcutaneously during organogenesis at doses of 160 or 40 mg per kg per day, respectively (22 and 11 times the human topical dose based on calculations of dose divided by the entire body surface area)
Lactation
Not known whether mupirocin is present in human milk, has effects on breastfed child, or has effects on milk production; however, breastfeeding is not expected to result in exposure of child to drug due to minimal systemic absorption following topical administration; developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with mother’s clinical need for therapy and any potential adverse effects on breastfed child from therapy or from underlying maternal condition
To minimize oral exposure of drug to children, a breast and/or nipple being treated with mupirocin ointment should be thoroughly washed prior to breastfeeding
