Patient's question:

I have been taking weight-loss medication for a long time. I have stopped taking it for three months. Can I get pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Hello: While weight loss and slimming have become a trend in modern society, various hospitals and clinics use a wide variety of medications. Currently, weight-loss drugs have sparked significant controversy. Some drugs, even when used on healthy individuals, can still cause harm, let alone when used on pregnant women. There have been many cases where women, unaware they were pregnant, used weight-loss medications, resulting in severe consequences such as fetal deformities and anencephaly. Women must confirm they are not pregnant before taking weight-loss drugs and ensure the legality of their medical actions to avoid physical harm.
The metabolic time for each weight-loss drug varies and should be treated accordingly.
