Capsaicin is the active ingredient in ripe and dried fruits of Capsicum spp. (Bell pepper, Capsicum, Cayenne pepper, Chili, Chilli, Green pepper, Paprika). It is used in medicine as an analgesic for peripheral neuropathic pain (postherpetic neuralgia, diabetic neuropathy, and others), osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. It is administered topically to the skin in the form of creams, gels, or patches. It is also used in gastronomy as a condiment.
A low absorption into plasma (very low levels or undetectable in plasma) and rapid clearance make it highly unlikely the passage of significant amount toward breast milk. In fact, the minute concentrations of piperine and other compounds in breast milk after nursing mothers consume a curry dish are below the human taste threshold. (N Diaye 2021)
Adverse effects resulting from topical application of capsaicin are rare and mild. (Posadzki 2013)
Do not apply on the chest or thoroughly clean it off before breastfeeding.
