I found out I was 16 weeks pregnant on xenical. Could that have harmed the baby?

Hello, Cathy! How are you? Congratulations!

It is recommended that it should not be taken during pregnancy, by the U.S. FDA, to because of evidence of harm, but due to the fact that weight loss offers no benefit to a pregnancy woman and could harm the baby.

It would be best to inform your doctor that you were taking it, to be safe, but the risk of harm this early on is very low.

Is there anything else I can help with?
