My wife is 5 months pregnant and she is taking Emeset 4 for vomiting ( one in morning and one in evening) from last 2-3 months.

White oval imprinted with plond on one side and 8 on the other ## ONDANSETRON (Zofran®) helps to relieve nausea and vomiting, especially when associated with the treatment of cancer (chemotherapy). Ondansetron may also be used to prevent or treat nausea and vomiting that occurs after surgery, and occasionally is used to treat severe vomiting during pregnancy. ## This tablet is manufactured by Sandoz Pharmaceuticals and they list as containing 8mgs of Ondansetron, which is most commonly used to treat, or prevent nausea or vomiting, as Jules has stated. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including dizziness, dry mouth, and headache. Are there any questions?

Im 10 weeks pregnant, can i use flumil forte 600mg?? ## Hello, Adele! How are you? This contains the mucolytic Acetylcysteine and the FDA lists it as having no known risk during pregnancy, but you should only take it, if your doctor approves. Its typical side effects may include vomiting, fever and runny nose. Is there anything else I can help with?

im poz, and 14 weeks pregnant,i have been taking purbac and truvata and Aluvia, and i been vomiting day and night, so i asked the other doctor if this is ok, so he said Purbac will bring complications to the baby, is it true? ## Purbac contains the active ingredients Sulfamethoxazole and Trimethoprim and while they don't list the specific issues it can cause, yes, it does say that it is contraindicated during pregnancy and nursing, because it crosses the placenta to the baby and can pass into breast milk. What did the doctor advise you to do?
