Hello
Welcome here.
I can understand your concerns.
Duromine contains active ingredient phentermine.
Regarding its effects in pregnancy, the drug has not been shown to cause fetal damage in humans.
I would suggest you to discontinue with this drug till your pregnancy.
However, i donot your prior duromine use will affect your pregnancy now.

So donot worry. But stop the drug now.

Hope this helps.
Thanks.
