NVP Counsellor
Date: 2008-12-11
Question:
I'm currently 11 weeks pregnant and have been on diclectin since 6 weeks. I'm always nauseous, but usually only vomit around the supper hour. My GP put me on diclectin one pill, three times a day, but I don't think it's helping much during my worst times, usually between 1pm and 9pm. I just received a new prescription, and it just said to "take as needed". What would be the best dosage to take to avoid vomitting during the late afternoon/evening?
Thank you.
Answer:
You probably need to increase your dose of Diclectin and maybe the
times to take it, as Diclectin is a delayed action medication. You may
want to call our toll free NVP line at 1 800 436-8471 and one of our
specially trained counsellors will explain what is the best dosage for you
and when is the best time for you to take the medication.
