Question:
i am about 7 weeks pregnant and have severe nausea lasting all day. when i walk or get up in the morning i also am very dizzy.it is effecting my ability to function. i started taking dilcectin but it doesnt seem to help. what are some of options i dont know how much more i can take of this. my first pregnancy was not as bad and my second (which ended in a misscariage) also was not nearly as bad.please help i am desperate
Answer:
You did not mention when you started taking Diclectin and how much you are taking. Consult your doctor. The minimum dosage is 4 tab/day; 2 at night, one in the morning and afternoon. It may take several days to tell whether it is working. For more information you may want to call our tollfree NVP helpline at 1 800 436-8471 and speak to one of our counsellors to discuss further options.
