Question:
My doctor prescribed taking 8 dilectin a day... doubling up the doses, because I have been so nauseaus... I am 8 weeks pregnant. I had quit taking it, because it was making me sicker.. is it safe to just start up with 8 a day.. or should I start slower?
Answer:
It is OK to start up again at 8 per day: 2 in the
am, 2 at lunchtime, 2 at suppertime and 2 at bedtime.
