Question:
I am suffering from EXTREME morning sickness, I am on diclectin but it is not working at all. Is it safe for me to take Gravol? Also aren't diclectin and gravol the same? So shouldn't the diclectin be working for me? I'm going on 24/7 of straight morning sickness...HELP!!
Answer:
Diclectin and Gravol do contain similar ingredients in that they
both
contain an antihistamine. However, Diclectin also contains Vitamin B6
which is effective for NVP. You did not mention how much Diclectin you
are taking, so you may want to call our toll free number 1 800 436-8471
so you can dicuss with one of our counsellors the right dosage for you.
