A member asked:

Hi doctor's, my doctor give a lyrica (pregabalin) during my pregnancy it's that safe for the baby?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Category C med: Lyrica (pregabalin) is considered a category "c" medication, meaning it is relatively safe in pregnancy with no evidence so far for birth defects in human infants. There is little available information for it's use during breastfeeding but it is likely to easily cross into breast milk.
