I searched for infor on this medicine and found this site. i thought I would let everyone know that my doctor prescribed this to me as well for weight loss. now i dont have diabetes but my gyno doc (different doc) did say that i may have PCOS. but this was not given to me for that. I was told by my pharmacist that they are not allowed to give this drug for fertility or infertility, also my doc said if i was trying to get preg or was preg I COULD NOT be on this drug. so im not sure how it works with infertility. also my doc mentioned that they give this for weight loss in children under the age of 16. she stated they arent allowed to be on regular weight loss medication. I just started taking this and would like to know how everyone else on it is doing. havent had any side effects yet and am taking 500 mg twice a day. Have a great day!
