CompositionPregnidoxin Plus Tablet is used to relieve nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (morning sickness) when diet and lifestyle changes have not helped enough. It is a combination medicine containing doxylamine (an antihistamine), pyridoxine (vitamin B6) and folic acid.
Doxylamine and pyridoxine together reduce nausea and vomiting, while folic acid supports healthy development of the baby's brain and spine in early pregnancy. It is usually taken at bedtime, and sometimes also in the morning and afternoon if needed, as prescribed. Swallow the tablet whole on an empty stomach with water.
Eating small, frequent, bland meals, keeping dry crackers by the bed, sipping fluids through the day, avoiding strong smells and getting enough rest can help ease morning sickness.
This medicine commonly causes drowsiness, so do not drive or use machinery if affected, and avoid alcohol and other sedating medicines. Before taking it, tell your doctor if you have asthma, glaucoma, a stomach ulcer, or difficulty passing urine, and about other medicines you take. Seek medical help if you cannot keep fluids down, pass very little urine, feel faint, lose weight, or vomit blood, as severe vomiting in pregnancy (hyperemesis gravidarum) needs urgent treatment. Do not stop taking this medicine unless your doctor advises you to do so.
