Brief Answer: DONOT get pregnant please. Detailed Answer: Hi, Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns. Duromine is harmful to the baby and leads to miscarriages. It also leads to abnormalities in the baby. I will strictly advise you NOT to get pregnant while on duromine. Also you should give a period of 6 months after stopping duromine before you get pregnant as its effects take that long to wear off completely. Feel free to consult me directly http://bit.ly/drsombiswas Regards Dr. Som Biswas M.D. Mumbai

I had duromine for 15 days only still i have to wait 6 months

Answered by Dr. Som Biswas (23 minutes later)

Brief Answer: Try pregnancy after 3 months. Detailed Answer: Dear XXXX, If you had only for 15 days you can try pregnancy after 3 months. But if you take only 15 days how much weight loss will you have ? Again excess weight will affect your chances of pregnancy. Can you tell me your weight and height so that i have some idea about what to advice you ? This is because if your weight is very high then you have to take duromine for many more days till you get an ideal weight to achieve pregnancy.
