Answer by Dr. Ru: About Periplum usage in lactation
Excreted into breast milk in a non-significant amount. Because of pharmacokinetic data (high protein-binding capacity and low oral bioavailability) the observed low excretion into breast milk would be explained. Periplum does not alter secretion of Prolactin.
