Emestat 24 Tablet 10

Emestat 24 Tablet 10 is used for the management of nausea and vomiting in pregnant women (NVP), commonly known as morning sickness. It provides relief from persistent NVP symptoms, except for severe forms like hyperemesis gravidarum, and also supplements vitamin B6 to ensure nutritional balance during pregnancy.

Here's how you should take Emestat 24 Tablet 10 :

• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water, without crushing, chewing, or splitting it.
• It is recommended to take this medicine on an empty stomach.
• The medicine should be taken at bedtime for optimal effect.
• For sustained symptom control, it should be taken daily, not just when you feel nauseous or vomit.
• Always consult your doctor before adjusting your dosage.

Emestat 24 Tablet 10 is taken orally.

Emestat 24 Tablet 10 contains two active components:

• Doxylamine (20 mg): This antihistamine works by targeting a region in your brain called the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ), which controls nausea and vomiting reflexes. By blocking certain chemical messengers in CTZ, doxylamine prevents the stimulation of the vomiting centre in your brain, reducing feelings of nausea and frequency of vomiting.
• Vitamin B6 / Pyridoxine (20 mg): This vitamin acts as a dietary supplement to cover any nutritional deficiencies during pregnancy, helping with healthy development of nerves, skin, and red blood cells. Pyridoxine may also have an independent effect in reducing nausea and vomiting symptoms; however, the precise way it works isn't completely understood.

The extended-release formulation ensures gradual release of these ingredients over time, maintaining steady therapeutic levels and providing day-long symptom control.

• Store Emestat 24 Tablet 10 at room temperature.
• Keep it away from excessive heat and moisture.
• Maintain the original packaging to protect it from light exposure.
• Always keep this medicine out of the reach of children.
• Use it before the expiry date mentioned on the pack.

• Regularly hydrate yourself. Adequate fluid intake can help manage nausea and vomiting associated with pregnancy.
• Maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamin B6 sources such as poultry, fish, and bananas. This can support healthy fetal development and reduce symptoms of morning sickness.
