How it works

Doxylamine blocks the action of certain substances produced by the body that contribute to nausea and vomiting. Pyridoxine is a vitamin and a lack of this vitamin in the body may also be a factor in causing nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. Folic acid is a form of vitamin B which is essential for the production of certain vital components that are necessary for the maintenance of normal body functions.
