Doxinate-G Tablet 10's
About Doxinate-G Tablet 10's
Doxinate-G Tablet 10's belongs to the class of medications called “anti-emetics” primarily used to treat 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.
Doxinate-G Tablet 10's is a combination of two drugs, namely: Doxylamine succinate and Pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6). Doxylamine succinate 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 hydrochloride works by increasing the level of vitamin B6 in the body and thus treating nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.
You are advised to take Doxinate-G Tablet 10's for as long as your doctor has prescribed it, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as dizziness, stomach pain, constipation, and dry mouth. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
If you are allergic to Doxinate-G Tablet 10's or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Consult your doctor before taking Doxinate-G Tablet 10's if you are pregnant, planning for pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
