Maybe: Phentermne is a derivative of methamphetamine also known as "speed" which is used as a "diet pill" to "speed up your metabolism". The problem is that the du]rug also speeds up the fetus' heart rate and can cause cardiac issues in mid to late pregnancy. Since this was taken in early pregnancy it is unlikely to produce problems, but your OB MD will need to be told of your use.
