For the medical treatment of bacterial infections, antimicrobial drugs play important roles to cure from the diseases or prevent the infections but there are some antibiotics with safety concerns for women or children. The medical package inserts in the antibiotics are described not to recommend to the use of pregnant women or women childbearing potential, or children based on the results of preclinical toxicity studies. I would like to present developmental or juvenile toxicities for the antibiotics with the safety concerns using the medical package insert, interview forms or references.
