What Are The Side Effects Of Duromine On Pregnancy?

I have been taking duromine for a week, my partner and I want to try for a baby. How long do I need to stop taking the medication before we can safey try? What are the potential side effect on the child? We are both healthy. I am 34, never had children. He is 40 and has 3.

Hi,

If you took phentermine before pregnancy, it should have no effect on your ability to carry a healthy baby to term. All traces of phentermine should pass through your body. Even if you took your last dose a week before conception, it shouldn’t have any effect on your pregnancy. Very few human or animal studies have been done on phentermine during pregnancy. But the very few that do exist don’t seem to connect the drug to birth defects.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
