Question:
I'm in my third trimester, I'm taking Diclictin , since the begining, but since I have severe nausea and vomiting, I have also been taking gravol (1-2, every 4 or 8 hours), not everyday, but often. I have been told that it is safe to take gravol by my doctor. Yet have been told by others that it can cause sever defects and is dangerous to consume while pregnant.
Answer:
your doctor is correct that gravol is safe to
take during pregnancy, it has been used for many years
and the active ingredient is an antihistamine which is
the same as the active ingredient in Diclectin
