Frequently asked questions FOR Doxylonex

Doxylamine

Q. What is Doxylamine? How does it work?
Doxylamine is a medicine used to treat nausea and vomiting in pregnant women. Usually, it is used when no improvement in symptoms is observed even after changing the diet or using other non-medicine treatments. Doxylamine works by blocking the action of certain natural substances in the body which could be the possible reason for nausea and vomiting.
Q. Can the use of Doxylamine cause drowsiness or sleepiness?
Yes, one of the common side effects of Doxylamine is drowsiness. Do not drive, operate heavy machinery or engage in other activities that need your full attention. Do not drink alcohol or take any medicines that may depress the central nervous system like cough and cold medicines and certain pain medicines. Also, avoid medicines which are used to help with sleeping problems during treatment with Doxylamine. Severe drowsiness can happen or become worse and may cause falls or accidents.
Q. Are there any specific contraindications associated with the use of Doxylamine?
The use of Doxylamine is considered to be harmful for people with known allergy to any of the ingredients of this medicine. Inform your doctor if you had or have any medical condition before taking Doxylamine. Also, let your doctor know about all other medicines that you are taking as they may affect, or be affected by this medicine.

Q. Can I breastfeed while taking Doxylamine?
No, it is not advisable to breastfeed while using Doxylamine. This medicine can pass into the breast milk and may harm the baby. It may increase irritability and drowsiness in the newborn. Also, in infants with apnea (a type of breathing issue where breathing is reduced or stops eventually), worsening of breathing issues have been reported on administration with Doxylamine to the breastfeeding mothers. Therefore, if you are breastfeeding, consult your doctor to avoid any harmful effects on your baby.
Q. Can I take a higher than the recommended dose of this medicine?
No, taking a higher than the recommended dose of Doxylamine can cause increased side effects. If you experience an increase in the severity of nausea or vomiting during the course of treatment, please consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
Q. What is the storage condition for the Doxylamine?
Keep this medicine in the container or the pack it came in, tightly closed. Store it according to the instructions mentioned on the pack or label. Dispose of the unused medicine. Make sure it is not consumed by pets, children and other people.

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)

Folic Acid

Q. Is it ok to take Folic Acid when not pregnant?
Usually, folic acid requirements are met from the diet and therefore additional supplements are not required. In general, Folic Acid is recommended only when you have a deficiency of folic acid. However, Folic Acid is advised to women who are pregnant and who want to conceive. The medicine should be taken at least 4 weeks before pregnancy and should continue its use up to 3 months of pregnancy. Consult your doctor if not sure.
Q. Can Folic Acid cause weight gain?
Animal studies on Folic Acid suggest that taking the medicine in excess along with a high-fat diet may lead to weight gain and fat accumulation. But this weight gain was not evident when taken along with a normal or low-fat diet, even with excess Folic Acid. In humans, similar studies have not been conducted and therefore knowledge regarding weight gain is lacking. Therefore, if you are on Folic Acid eat a low-fat meal to be on the safer side.
Q. How long does Folic Acid take to work?
Folic Acid usually starts working within a few hours of taking it. If you are taking it for iron deficiency anemia, you may start feeling better after a few weeks of taking it. In case you are taking it during pregnancy, you may not notice any difference but this does not mean that the dose is not working. Continue taking Folic Acid for the duration recommended by your doctor.

Q. Why should women start taking Folic Acid before they become pregnant?
Maintaining the right level of folic acid in the body before getting pregnant reduces the risk of developing neural tube defects in the baby. The neural tube defect, in most cases, is caused if the structure (neural tube) from which the central nervous system develops (brain and spinal cord) in a baby does not form or is only partially closed. full closure of the neural tube occurs during the end of the fourth week of pregnancy. Folic acid helps in the formation of neural tubes. Therefore, to prevent this defect women should start Folic Acid before four weeks of pregnancy.
Q. Can I breastfeed while taking Folic Acid?
Yes, you can breastfeed while taking Folic Acid as it is not harmful to the baby. Folic Acid contains folic acid which is naturally found in breast milk. Though its initial levels in breast milk are low, it rises eventually. Since it is actively secreted in breast milk, the mother may take Folic Acid every day to maintain the required levels. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions related to nutrient supplementation in breastfeeding.
Q. When should I take Folic Acid, in the morning or at night?
You can take Folic Acid any time of the day, but try to take it at the same time each day. This will help you remember to take it. Take it exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The medicine should be swallowed as a whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, cut or crush the medicine.
Q. Can Folic Acid make you sick?
Generally, Folic Acid is well tolerated. However, some people may experience nausea (feeling sick), loss of appetite, bloating, and excessive passing of gas. The medicine may also worsen the symptoms of any coexisting vitamin B12 deficiency. If you experience any of these symptoms, consult your doctor but do not stop taking Folic Acid.
Q. How long do I need to take Folic Acid?
The duration of treatment with Folic Acid depends on the reason you are taking it for. If you are planning your pregnancy, you may start taking it 4 weeks before pregnancy and continue up to the first 3 months of pregnancy. If you are taking it for folic acid deficiency then you may have to take it for 4 months or longer (if your deficiency does not subside). If you are taking it to reduce the side effects of methotrexate then you may need to take it for as long as you are taking methotrexate. Consult your prescribing physician to know the exact duration of your therapy.
