What is Doxylamine (Pyridoxine)?
Pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting can be controlled with Doxylamine and Pyridoxine combination. Your health and nutrition throughout pregnancy may improve if your nausea and vomiting are reduced. Doxylamine is an antihistamine that may exert its effects indirectly by affecting the body’s endogenous chemicals (acetylcholine and serotonin) and acting on certain brain centers.
Uses of Doxylamine (Pyridoxine)
This medication combines doxylamine (an antihistamine) and pyridoxine (vitamin B6) to alleviate the symptoms of morning sickness during pregnancy, nausea and vomiting being the main ones. It is typically employed when other non-pharmacological interventions, like alterations to diet or way of life, have failed to resolve the condition.
How it works?
Doxylamine is an antihistamine that can help relieve nausea and vomiting by blocking the action of histamine in the body. It has sedative properties and may also help with sleep disturbances associated with pregnancy. Pyridoxine is a form of vitamin B6. While the exact mechanism of how it helps with morning sickness is not completely understood, it is thought to play a role in regulating neurotransmitters and hormones related to nausea and vomiting.
