Can I Get Pregnant When On Welchol For Excessive Diarrhea?

I am thinking about becoming pregnant. I am on Welchol due to excessive diarrhea since I had my gallbladder removed. It says on the perscription label not to take while preg. I looked online and it says no "animal fetus" found while on Welchol. Should I be worried about getting pregnant as I CANNOT go even a day without the Welchol?

Good day!
Wlchol is a category B drug and totally safe in pregnancy. It has nothing to do with pregnancy. nor it affects the conception rates. Dont get self diagnosed and hope for the best. Monitor electrolytes and let the professionalists help you
Take care
