Pregnancy Category

Name : Not Classified

Description

FDA has not yet classified the drug into a specified pregnancy category.

Mode of Action

Pregabalin is an analog of the neurotransmitter GABA. It binds potently to the alpha2-delta subunit resulting in modulation of Ca channels and reduction in the release of several neurotransmitters, including glutamate, norepinephrine, serotonin, dopamine, calcitonin gene-related peptide and substance P.

Interaction

May potentiate the effects of lorazepam. Additive CNS depressant effects w/ opiates and benzodiazepines. May increase risk of angioedema w/ ACE inhibitors. May increase risk of wt gain and peripheral oedema w/ thiazolidinediones.

Pregnancy Category Note

Pregnancy There are no adequate and well-controlled studies with pregabalin in pregnant women Animal data In the animal fertility study with pregabalin in male rats, adverse reproductive and developmental effects were observed In animal reproduction studies, increased incidences of fetal structural abnormalities and other manifestations of developmental toxicity, including skeletal malformations, retarded ossification, and decreased fetal body weight were observed in the offspring of rats and rabbits given pregabalin orally during organogenesis, at doses that produced plasma pregabalin exposures (AUC) greater than or equal to 16 times human exposure at the maximum recommended dose (MRD) of 600 mg/day Lactation Small amounts of pregabalin have been detected in the milk of lactating women Based on animal studies, there is a potential risk of tumorigenicity with pregabalin exposure via breast milk to the breastfed infant Available clinical study data in patients greater than 12 years of age do not provide a clear conclusion about the potential risk of tumorigenicity with pregabalin Because of the potential risk of tumorigenicity, breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment
