Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic,
Dexamfetamine is not indicated and not safe to take if you are pregnant. Whenever is possible reduce use of this medication. However , you have to consult again your Doctor he will make a careful assessment and will decide for you benefits and risk . There can be negative impact on fertility as well, altering sexual drive and ability.
I wish you good luck .
Hope this helps and I have answered your query. If you have additional queries don’t hesitate to ask.

Best Regards,

Dr.Mihail
