Pregnancy: There are no adequate data on the use of pregabalin in pregnant women.
Studies in animals have shown reproductive toxicity (see Pharmacology: Toxicology: Preclinical safety data under Actions). The potential risk for humans is unknown. Therefore, pregabalin should not be used during pregnancy unless the benefit to the mother clearly outweighs the potential risk to the fetus. Effective contraception must be used in women of child-bearing potential.
Lactation: Pregabalin is excreted in the milk of lactating women (see Pharmacology: Pharmacokinetics under Actions). As the safety of pregabalin in infants is not known, breast-feeding is not recommended during treatment with pregabalin. A decision must be made whether to discontinue breast-feeding or to discontinue from pregabalin therapy taking into account the benefit of breast-feeding for the child and the benefit of therapy for the woman.
