Diclectin (doxylamine/pyridoxine) is safe and effective for treating nausea and vomiting during pregnancy

March 2000

After many years, experts are finally concluding that Diclectin (doxylamine/pyridoxine) is safe and effective for treating nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.

Earlier fears about teratogenicity generated a lot of bad press and lawsuits against a similar product, Bendectin...forcing the manufacturer to withdraw it from the market.

But Bendectin has never been shown to increase the risk of birth defects...and there was NO decline in fetal malformations after Bendectin was withdrawn.
