Question : I have taken emeset 4 od one tablet by mistake morning after breakfast I am nine week pregnant.
Brief Answer:
Category B drug
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the query.
No need to worry.
Emset contains ondansetron. Which belongs to category B drug in pregnancy.
Means animal studies shown no adverse effects on the fetus but human studies are lacking.
As you took only one tablet that may not cause any major problem.
Taking the tablet either before or after food may not have much influence on its efficacy.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer followup queries. If you are satisfied with the answer, please give your review at the end of the discussion.
Take care.
