PRUNELAX® DURING PREGNANCY AND BREASTFEEDING
Occasional constipation is very common during pregnancy and lactation due to hormonal changes. Prunelax® is not absorbed into the bloodstream, so it does not become part of the placenta or breast milk. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, before ingesting any type of laxatives, including Prunelax®, consult a health professional.
