Question

I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use EINECS 289-701-2? Is EINECS 289-701-2 safe for nursing mother and child? Does EINECS 289-701-2 extracts into breast milk? Does EINECS 289-701-2 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can EINECS 289-701-2 influence milk supply or can EINECS 289-701-2 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About EINECS 289-701-2 usage in lactation

EINECS 289-701-2 (Tanacetum parthenium) leaves contain sesquiterpene lactones, including parthenolide, which is thought to be the principal active ingredient. EINECS 289-701-2 has no specific lactation-related uses. It is most commonly used to prevent migraine. No data exist on the excretion of any components of EINECS 289-701-2 into breastmilk or on the safety and efficacy of EINECS 289-701-2 in nursing mothers or infants. EINECS 289-701-2 is generally well tolerated in adults, with occasional oral ulcers or gastrointestinal irritation. Rebound headaches can occur with rapid discontinuation and allergic reactions, including cross-reactions to chrysanthemums, daisies and marigolds, occur rarely. Because of the lack of safety data during lactation, some reviewers recommend against its use during breastfeeding.[1] Dietary supplements do not require extensive pre-marketing approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Manufacturers are responsible to ensure the safety, but do not need to the safety and effectiveness of dietary supplements before they are marketed. Dietary supplements may contain multiple ingredients, and differences are often found between labeled and actual ingredients or their amounts. A manufacturer may contract with an independent organization to verify the quality of a product or its ingredients, but that does certify the safety or effectiveness of a product. Because of the above issues, clinical testing results on one product may not be applicable to other products.
