Doc had given me stemetil long back for vertigo and i still have the strip at home. Now vomiting is bohot bad with this pregnancy and i was tempted but didnt take. wanted to know before i ask her about it.
Arre, don't just pop any pill you find in the house like it's a mint! My doc gave me some specific pills when I was throwing up like a crazy person, but Stemetil is definitely a prescription-only thing. Call your gynac, they are the boss here!
Beta, why do you want to take strong english medicines on your own? For nausea, you can try sucking on a piece of ginger or drinking lemon water, which are very safe. If the sickness is still too bad, then please consult your doctor before taking any tablets like Stemetil.
Honestly, don't take Stemetil without checking with your obstetrician first. While it's sometimes used for extreme vomiting under medical supervision, self-medication is a strict no-no when you're pregnant. Let your doctor evaluate if you really need it.
During my consultation at Fortis, my gynac specifically warned me against taking any over-the-counter or unprescribed pills like Stemetil. She said if my nausea gets out of control, I should call the hospital line immediately and they will prescribe the safest medication for me. Please do the same!
Please never take any medicine like Stemetil on your own during pregnancy. Always check with your gynac first to see if it is safe for your specific situation. Safety of the baby comes first, so let the doctor decide what is best for you.
When my morning sickness was at its peak a few months back, I could not keep anything down. My gynac actually prescribed me Stemetil because I was getting dehydrated. It helped me a lot, but please don't take it without asking your own doctor first!
Stemetil is prochlorperazine, which is sometimes prescribed by doctors for severe nausea if other things like B6 don't work. However, my doctor had mentioned that it's always better to avoid self-medicating with it during pregnancy because of potential risks. Better to get a safe prescription from your gynac.
