Gabapentin Gabapentin is used to treat neuropathic pain as well as for its anti-epileptic activity. There is moderate-quality evidence that oral gabapentin at doses of 1200 mg daily or more has an important effect on pain in some people with moderate or severe neuropathic pain after shingles or due to diabetes (Wiffen et al. 2017). Breastfeeding while taking gabapentin: Gabapentin enters breastmilk in low levels. Blood tests on breastfed infants found low levels or levels too low to be detected. There are reports of infants exposed to gabapentin through breastmilk; no side effects were noted. DrLact safety Score for Gabapentin is 1 out of 8 which is considered Safe as per our analyses.

The mother-infant pair was studied over a 24-hour dose interval at steady state. Background: The benefits of breastfeeding for both mother and infant are well documented. The World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first four to six months of life An infant whose mother was taking gabapentin 36.7 mg/kg daily breastfed her infant 6 to 7 times daily for most of the first 1.6 months of life with some additional artificial feeding at night.
