Question:
Dear motherisk,
I am 11 weeks pregnant and currently taking stemetil to help with NVP. It has helped - I am less lethargic, and not nauseas every minute of the day. I am still throwing up about three times a day, often only keeping down dinner, and feeling moderately awful at times. I live in Australia, and I think some drugs are not available here - do you have any suggestions for something that may help further? My GP says Largactil (I think) would be next.
Yours,
Megan
Answer:
Diclectin is the drug of choice for NVP and it is not available in Australia. You may want to download our treatment algorithm @http://www.motherisk.org/women/updatesDetail.jsp?content_id=348 from the website and take it to your physician and he/she can look at it to
decide where to proceed next if the stemetil is not working for you.
