Is There Any Need To Terminate The Pregnancy After Taking Duromine?

Hi, a friend if mine is six weeks pregnant and had taken duromine before realizing she was pregnant. Her doctor has advised her to terminate without taking any form of testing claiming that the baby would have down syndrome or be abnormal in some way. Is this correct or should she get a second opinion?
