I am in my third month of pregnancy and still experiencing nausea, vomiting, and stomach ache. The pyridoxine and doxylamine succinate prescribed by my doctor since the first month are not providing enough relief. What alternative medicines are safe to take for better relief?
Since pyridoxine and doxylamine aren't providing enough relief, your OB/GYN may consider other safe prescription alternatives. For persistent nausea and vomiting, options like metoclopramide, promethazine, or ondansetron are commonly prescribed. For your stomach ache, which may be caused by acid reflux exacerbated by vomiting, acid-reducing medications like famotidine or antacids are generally safe. Please do not self-medicate. Consult your doctor before starting any new medicine, as they must evaluate your symptoms to rule out dehydration or other underlying issues and prescribe the safest dosage for you and your baby.
