Can I take phentermine while breastfeeding? Posted: 07-16-06 16:05pm
I am over weight and have been since the
birth of my first daughter. I took
phentermine before I found out I was
pregnant with my second child. I want to
continue taking it after this pregnancy,
but I decided to breast feed. Can I take
phentermine while breastfeeding? Will it
get into my breastmilk?

I recommend you not take phentermine while
breastfeeding.
