What is this medicine?

DOXYLAMINE is an antihistamine that reduces the effects of natural chemical histamine in the body.

PYRIDOXINE is a form of vitamin B (B6).

Doxylamine and pyridoxine is a combination medicine used to treat nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, sometimes called morning sickness.

What should I tell my health care providers before I take this medicine?

You should not use this medicine if you are allergic to doxylamine or pyridoxine, or to other antihistamines such as Benadryl or Dramamine.

Call your doctor if your symptoms get worse while using doxylamine and pyridoxine. Severe or ongoing vomiting can cause you to become dehydrated which can lead to serious medical problems.
