How long after stopping weight loss medication can you have a child?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

If you want to have a baby, you first cannot lose weight, and you should not get sick. Weight-loss pills affect the endocrine system, so they can be used for weight loss. The safe and secure period is six months or a year to completely eliminate the drug toxins from your body, ensuring the baby's health.
After stopping the medication, do more exercise and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
If you haven’t taken it for a long time, it’s best to stop at least six months in advance. You should stop taking it immediately because many ingredients in weight-loss pills are unknown, and it’s uncertain whether they will affect the fetus after stopping. Also, pregnancy will naturally lead to weight gain, so you might as well wait until after the baby is born to lose weight. What medication are you taking? It’s best to consult a doctor.
