Question:
I have just started taking diclectin..Last night I took 2 as prescribed by my doctor and I felt horrible in the morning..very drowsy..do people sometimes only take one at bedtime?? then one in the am??
Answer:
One of the ingredients in Diclectin is an
anthistamine which can make some people very drowsy.
However, the effects usually wear off after a few days
to a week. You can decrease the dose, but ideally, you
should continue to take it at the dose prescribed by
your physician, because this dosing has been
formulated to take care of your nausea and vomiting
over the 24 hour period
