****** The use of Phentermine during pregnancy has not been evaluated. It is recommended that 'the risks of using it during pregnancy be weighted against the risks of not using it.' In other words, no one really knows. Since there is no good data indicating that it causes problems leads me to believe that fetal damage must not be common.
