Question:
I am eight weeks pregnant and going on two week boat trip. I do get sea sick and am already dealing with mild NVP. Will diclectin help sea sickness nausea as well as NVP? Is it safe to take an OTC sea sickness medicine with diclectin? Should I switch to a sea sickness medicine while I'm at sea, and if so, which ones are safe to take while pregnant?
Answer:
The anti-nausea medications, whether it is for
sea-sickness or pregnancy,contain similar ingredients.
However, Diclectin is the medication recommended for
pregnancy, so that is the one you should take,
especially if you are already taking it. You do not
need to take both
