What are my options for managing severe morning sickness and vomiting in my fourth month of pregnancy, since the prescribed Doxinate is not working and I cannot keep my prenatal vitamins down?
Since Doxinate is not working, please don't worry, as there are other safe options we can consider. Your doctor may suggest switching to alternative prescription anti-nausea medications, such as metoclopramide, ondansetron, or prochlorperazine. Regarding your prenatal vitamins, it is completely safe to temporarily pause them until your stomach settles, or you can try a folic-acid-only supplement which is much smaller and easier to tolerate. Please contact your obstetrician soon to discuss these options and to ensure you stay hydrated.
