Women of childbearing potential/Contraception in males and females: As the potential risk for humans is unknown, effective contraception must be used in women of child bearing potential.
Use in Pregnancy: There are no adequate data from 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.
Pregabalin should not be used during pregnancy unless clearly necessary (if the benefit to the mother clearly outweighs the potential risk to the foetus).
Use in Lactation: It is not known if pregabalin is excreted in the breast milk of humans; however, it is present in the milk of rats. Therefore, breast-feeding is not recommended during treatment with pregabalin.
