Hi, I think prolactin level will be high in postpartum period. If you are breastfeeding, then it will be higher. Lactonic granules will further increase the milk production and lead to high prolactin level. Prolactin level is a hormone which help in production of milk. So, it is not dangerous in your wife's case. Hope it helps.
