diet Pills during pregnancy
Is it safe to use diet pills while pregnant?
DietDoc
Dear Bo
I would advise you NOT to take any medications or pills including herbal products while you are pregnant, unless prescribed by your medical doctor. This includes over-the-counter medicines and health products. The potential danger to the developing baby is too great to take any risks. Rather watch your dietary intake and do gentle exercise provided your dr gives permission.
Take great care
