Question:
I have been on diclectin for 4 days now, I am still nauseus and unable to eat anything. I was advised to take 1 at breakfast, 1 at lunch, 1 at dinner and 2 before bed. Any suggestions?? I have now lost 12.8lbs and I am even having a hard time getting fluids in. I am 6 weeks and 5 days pregnant, and this is my second pregnancy. I didn't have this sickness with the first.
Answer:
Because women are different in the way they respond to medication,
it can take up to a week for the Diclectin to really work. If after a
week, you still have symptoms, you may want to call our toll free NVP line
