Phentermine
If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant or are breast-feeding, you should seek the advice of your physician. Under proper medical supervision, the use of Phentermine does not pose a significant threat to the foetus for birth defects, but mild withdrawal symptoms may be observed in your new-born baby. There are not many clinical studies that have examined the risks to health as your baby grows up, but there are no indications of long-term danger so far.
But if you ignore your physician's dosage guidelines and abuse this powerful drug, there is a significant risk to the foetus and your newborn. Phentermine has vasoconstrictive properties, i.e. it narrows the blood vessels and increases your blood pressure. Thus, most commonly, Phentermine slows your baby's development and growth inside the womb. The birth is usually premature and there is an increased risk of other illnesses immediately after birth.
You have to make a judgement about your lifestyle. If you do not respect your body, and abuse alcohol and any drugs whether medicinal or recreational, you are putting your baby's life in danger. A study in 1985 followed the health and social devlopment of sixty-five children whose mothers were addicted to amphetamines during pregnancy. Although general intelligence, mental ability, physical growth and health were all within the normal range at eight years, all the children with the longest exposure during pregnancy tended to be more aggressive and socially maladapted. While this study in its own does not indicate any significant long-term danger to children, i.e. although born slightly underweight, they catch up in terms of physical development, more studies are underway to assess whether the social problems observed are inherent or environmental, i.e. are the children born predisposed to psychological difficulties or do they learn the behaviour by observing their parents.
