Natural Standard, The Authority on Integrative Medicine answered:

Use of American pawpaw (Asimina triloba) during pregnancy or breastfeeding is not recommended due to the cytotoxic effects of pawpaw extract.
You should read product labels, and discuss all therapies with a qualified healthcare provider. Natural Standard information does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
