Frequently asked questions FOR Femdox
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.

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.
