Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Some amount of nausea and vomiting are common in early pregnancy.
Delectin contains pyridoxine and doxylamine.
Navidoxine contains meclozine and pyridoxine.
Both the drugs can be used in pregnancy.
Navidoxine belongs to category B drugs in pregnancy.
Means animal studies have not shown adverse effects on fetus but sufficient human studies are lacking.
In clinical practice this drug is prescribed usually.
So, she can take the drug with your doctor's advice.
Regular antenatal checkups and ultrasound examinations are advised.
Take care.
