Therefore, pregnant women should not use oxytetracycline.
2. The effect of drugs on breastfeeding: oxytetracycline can be secreted by milk, and the concentration in milk is higher. Although oxytetracycline can form an insoluble complex with calcium in milk, absorption is rare, but it can be caused by such drugs.
