Official label information

Neurontin labeling includes a pregnancy warning based on animal data (may cause fetal harm) and directs people to the North American AED Pregnancy Registry.

Plain-language explanation

Pregnancy and breastfeeding can change how risks and benefits are considered for a medicine. A clinician can help coordinate medication decisions with appropriate care.

What this often means for gabapentin products

Contact the prescriber if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Do not stop a seizure medicine suddenly because of a positive test. Registry enrollment, if eligible, is research support—not a treatment.

Ask your pharmacist

Ask who should review the medication list promptly if pregnancy status changes.

Caution: Do not stop a prescribed medicine abruptly solely because of this label warning.
