At the date of the last update, the authors did not find any published data on its excretion in breast milk.
The small dose and poor plasma absorption of most topical dermatological preparations make it unlikely that a significant amount will pass into breast milk.
Potassium is an ion present in breast milk at a concentration 3 to 7 times greater than that of plasma: ≈ 14 - 18 mEq/L (Lawrence 2016, Allen 1991).
Like other monovalent ions, it enters and leaves the milk freely, inversely to the lactose concentration (Lawrence 2016 p119).
Potassium supplements do not significantly change levels in breast milk (Hale, Ereman 1987).
In the body, it is found mainly within cells, with a plasma concentration within precise limits (3.5 to 5.5 mEq/L), outside of which there are serious clinical alterations.
Potassium treatments cannot raise the concentration in milk without first altering that of the blood.
Do not apply on the breasts to prevent the infant from ingesting it; if necessary, apply after one feeding and clean well with water before the next.
