Sorry I do not have the chemical name, it is only in the '96 PDR and I do not have that issue here at home.>> Dr. Bill, Nice to see you on the 'list'. But the fact that your question is posted here means that the MFM guys at MercyxBaptist weren't much help... LOL Neurontin is also in the 1995 PDR... Gabapentin is the generic name. Since it's a new drug, I'm sure experience with it in pregnancy is VERY sparse. >From what the PDR says about mice and rabbits, I'd tell patients that if you have a normal baby (by ultrasound) at 16 weeks already, you're probably going to be okay. However, to be safe, have the pediatrician take a really good look after delivery. And tell the neurologist in the future we'd prefer NOT to have pregnant girls on neurontin... at least until someone has more experience with it. (Of course, now YOU will probably be the local expert... ) See ya, Joe P. ************************************************* doctorjoe@aol.com "All things are connected.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education.
