About METHYLCOBALAMIN+L METHYLFOLATE CALCIUM+PYRIDOXAL 5 PHOSPHATE+DOXYLAMINE SUCCINATE
METHYLCOBALAMIN+L METHYLFOLATE CALCIUM+PYRIDOXAL 5 PHOSPHATE+DOXYLAMINE SUCCINATE used to control nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. It helps treat morning sickness (nauseous feeling during the first trimester) in pregnant women. Nausea is an uneasy feeling in which a person feels an urge to vomit, while vomiting is the body's natural response to discharge the stomach content forcefully.
METHYLCOBALAMIN+L METHYLFOLATE CALCIUM+PYRIDOXAL 5 PHOSPHATE+DOXYLAMINE SUCCINATE contains Methylcobalamin, L Methylfolate Calcium, Pyridoxal 5 Phosphate (vitamin B6) and Doxylamine Succinate. Methylcobalamin and L Methylfolate Calcium can provide essential nutrients during pregnancy. Doxylamine succinate belongs to the class of antihistamines that work by blocking the natural chemical (histamine) in the body, thereby preventing nausea and vomiting. Pyridoxine/vitamin B6 deficiency may cause nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. Pyridoxal-5-phosphate works by increasing the level of vitamin B6 in the body. Thus, it helps treat nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.
