Hello,
Pyricontin, which is a form of vitamin B6, is very safe to use in pregnancy. It is usually used for nausea and vomiting, so I don't think it will help with breast dimpling, but it would not be harmful. If the dimpling persists, you may want to get an ultrasound done to see if the cause can be found.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
