Hi
Duramine is a category B drug. It means that its use in animals is associated with increased occurrence of fetal damage, but its significance in humans is uncertain.
Its safety in human pregnancy is not studied. So as you have rightly done stop the medication.
It is reasonable to continue the pregnancy. You need not worry.
