Description

DOXYLAMINE+PYRIDOXINE belongs to the class of medications called anti-emetics primarily used to treat nausea (feeling sick) and vomiting (being sick) during pregnancy. Morning sickness (nausea and vomiting during pregnancy) is a common symptom of pregnancy. In some cases, pregnant women experience excessive nausea and vomiting that progresses to a condition called hyperemesis gravidarum. It causes electrolyte imbalances and weight loss in pregnant women. 

DOXYLAMINE+PYRIDOXINE is a combination of two drugs, namely: Doxylamine and Pyridoxine (vitamin B6). Doxylamine belongs to the class of antihistamines that works 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. Pyridoxine works by increasing the level of vitamin B6 in the body and helps in treating nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.
