About VOMILAST TABLET

VOMILAST TABLET belongs to the class of medications called ‘anti-emetics’ primarily used to treat nausea (feeling sick) and vomiting (being sick) during pregnancy. Morning sickness (nausea and vomiting during pregnancy) is a common symptom of pregnancy. It usually begins in the 6th week of pregnancy, lasting up to 16 to 18 weeks. However, some pregnant women have it throughout pregnancy. It can lead to electrolyte imbalances and weight loss in pregnant women.

VOMILAST TABLET contains Doxylamine, Pyridoxine, and Folic acid. Doxylamine is an antihistamine that works by blocking the natural chemical (histamine) in the body, thereby preventing nausea and vomiting. Pyridoxine is vitamin B6, and its deficiency may cause nausea and vomiting. It works by restoring the levels of vitamin B6 in the body and treating nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. Folic acid is also a form of vitamin B, which can provide essential nutrients during pregnancy.

You should take this medicine exactly as prescribed by the doctor. The common side-effects of VOMILAST TABLET are dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, tiredness and constipation. These side-effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if any of these side-effects persist or get worse, inform your doctor immediately.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Morning sickness (nausea and vomiting): It is a common symptom of pregnancy. It is usually happening within the first trimester (first four months) of pregnancy, but some pregnant women have it throughout pregnancy. In some cases, pregnant women experience excessive nausea and vomiting that progresses to a condition called hyperemesis gravidarum.

While vomiting is a natural response of the body in which a person wants to expel stomach contents from the mouth forcefully. It can be triggered by taste, anxiety, smell, pain or irritation to the stomach.
