Memantine and pregnancy
Memantine is not recommended during pregnancy because there is no information about its effects.
If you take memantine and are trying to get pregnant or are already pregnant, talk to your doctor about whether it is right for you. Do not stop taking your medicine without speaking to your doctor.
Memantine and breastfeeding
There is no information about the effects of taking memantine while breastfeeding, so it is not recommended.
If you are already taking memantine and are breastfeeding, or planning to breastfeed, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
Do not stop your medicine without speaking to your doctor first.
Memantine and fertility
There's no evidence to suggest that taking memantine reduces fertility in either men or women.
