Hello doctor, im 15weeks pregnant, and still vomiting like 1st 3mnths. Can you please tell me whether Digene or Pan d is safe or not during pregnancy? Should I take these to control acidity, heart burn, vomiting? And im taking another pill named Doxinate suggested by my doctor. Bt now he told me to stop taking Doxinate. Is there any problem if i continue with Doxinate, cz it hlps me to control vomiting. Plz reply... I need you precious advice. XXXX
Hi,1. Digene and Pan-D are considered to be safe during pregnancy hence you may take these to control acidity and heartburn. Remember, Pan-D has to be taken on an empty stomach one hour before meals or snack.2. Doxinate is also considered to be safe during pregnancy hence it is prescribed to treat vomiting, there is no problem in continuing with Doxinate.3. I would recommend Doxinate with Vitamin-B6 or Meclizine or Promethazine if the vomiting is not controlled with Doxinate alone.Beside, other causes of severe vomiting should be detected and treated accordingly.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
