When Should Duromine Be Stopped If Trying To Get Pregnant?
Hello,
I have been taking Duromine for over a year. My Husband & I would like to start to try to conceive. How long do I need to be off Duromine before I start to try to get pregnant. I have asked two doctors this question & have been given two different answerrs. 1. the first doctors said I should be off Duromine for a least 3 months. 2. The other doctor said I can start trying to get pregnant as soon as I stop taking the tablet. Which is correct? Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
Duromine is an appetite supressant. So to avoid possibility of nutritional deficiencies .. I support your first doctor... yes you should stop it at least 3 months before getting conceived.
These three months are used to get a balanced , vitamins, calcium & iron rich diet while caloric intake restricted( to avoid weight gain).Exercises also continue as routine.
Taking folic acid 5 mg & vitamin E 200 mg daily by both the partners helps healthy conception.
Thanks
