  • Phentermine (Adipex)

    My doctor recently prescribed me, Phentermine (ADIPEX). However, it says on the bottle to not take while breastfeeding, however, my LO is 2 years old and only nurses before nap and before bed. Then a few times in between. My question is, since the Phentermine is a low dose, will it still affect my 2 yr old. I really do need to take this script so I can get surgery. What is recommended at this point? Should I wean him?

    We don't have any data on Phentermine and its transfer into human milk. Its rather small in molecular weight so I'm sure some will pass into milk.

    IN YOUR CASE, with a 2 year old child, and a low milk production at your stage, I'd suggest the risk to the infant is minimal to nil. I'd just observe for excitement, and insomnia.
