About Fantop Tablet

DOXYLAMINE+PYRIDOXINE (VITB6) 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 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. It causes electrolyte imbalances and weight loss in pregnant women. Nausea is an uneasy feeling in which a person feels an urge to vomit while vomiting is the natural response of the body to discharge the stomach content forcefully.

DOXYLAMINE+PYRIDOXINE (VITB6) is a combination of two drugs, namely: Doxylamine and Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) used to treat nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. It prevents the feeling of nausea and sickness in pregnant women. Besides this, it also provides nutrition to the body. Doxylamine belongs to the class of antihistamines that works by blocking the natural chemical (histamine) in the body, thereby preventing nausea and vomiting. Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) is a form of vitamin.
