What Are The Side Effects Of Cefepime In Pregnancy If Taken Expired?

Hi, my wife is taking 2g Cefepime through a pic line at home to treat an ear bacteria. This delivery method is being used because she is pregnant. She just accidentally took about 5mL of one that was dated to be discarded after 7/9. She stopped as soon as she realized, we went through a disposed of the old, and has another, current dose ready. How worried should we be? Should she take all 20mL of the current dose or only 15mL?

Nothing to worry in it if you had taken only one dose. Take your next dose 15 ml as scheduled. And take care of your wife. I advise you if you ask any questions related to pregnancy please add duration of pregnancy. Finally end with 'Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help". For Follow up questions, end with "If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish you and your wife good health".
