Morning Sickness Medication to Rely on for Nausea Cure

Morning sickness medication may vary from home remedies recommended by the family and friends, to over-the-counter medication prescribed by your doctor or health care provider. While the symptoms may be alleviated by taking in the medication prescribed by family, sometimes morning sickness is cured only with a dose of prescribed medicine. So, sucking ginger lozenges may not always help.

While there are drugs in pregnancy that you may consume with the advice of your doctor, nondrugs remedies are always recommended over medication because you should not expose your growing baby to any drugs. But these methods may not spell relief for every woman, and she may turn to a few nausea medicines as prescribed to her.

Medicines Over-the-Counter

Over-the-counter drugs may include what's not officially listed for pregnancy. Emetrol is a non prescription nausea medication that's considered safe during pregnancy. Then there are medications such as Zantac or Pepcid, which sometimes work for women who nausea and vomiting is triggered by various symptoms of gastrointestinal distress like a stomach upset and heartburn.

There is the drug Bendectin, which combines an antihistamine called doxylamine with vitamin B6. Once widely used in the United States to treat morning sickness, Bendectin's use got it into controversy over its safety during pregnancy – and forced the manufacturer to pull it off the market. These days available in Canada under the name Dicletin, its ingredients have been classified by the FDA as safe and effective for nausea andomiting during pregnancy.

The sleeping pill Doxylamine, available under the brand name Unisom Nighttime Sleep-Aid, can treat morning sickness. It can make you sleepy, so you should not drive when taking doxylamine, either should you venture inside your kitchen. Just do not take it without a prescription from your doctor.

If you still do not suffer relief, your doctor might have to prescribe something for you. When it comes to prescription drugs, your doctor may suggest nausea medications such as Compazine or Tigan or the antihistamine Phenergan.

The drug Zofran, originally designed to control nausea in chemotherapy patients, may be effective to control nausea in pregnant women as well, but it is a very expensive drug and will not be covered by many insurers.

Treatment for hyperemesis Gravidarum

If your nausea and vomiting are so severe that you can not keep anything down, including water, juice, food, prenatal vitamins, or medicines, you are probably afflicted with hyperemesis Gravidarum, which is a severe kind of morning sickness. If your inability to swallow anything without vomiting it out is for real and you begin to suffer from weight loss and dehydration, you bought to consult with your doctor. Your doctor might want to check you into the hospital and treat you with intravenous (IV) fluids and medicines, until you are able to eat without throwing up. An effective and powerful drug is Droperidol in combination with fluids, vitamins, and the antihistamine Diphenhydramine, to control your bouts of nausea and vomiting. Droperidol has the properties to bring your nausea and vomiting under control quickly so that you can start eating and drinking again within a day or two.
