HI,
i UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN.
Duramin is not reported to to have teratogenic effect on baby.It is an appetite suppressant. For the risk of under nourishment of fetus/ baby .. it is declared as catagoary X by FDA in pregnancy & is contraindicated in pregnancy.
You should therefore withdraw the medicine emmediately. Seek your doctor's advise for continuation of pregnancy. In my view it was taken for only 2 weeks before pregnancy, so pregnancy can be continued with a continuous vigilance on fetal growth & development along with goog nutrition.
Thanks.
