Hi,
Doxinate is composed of Doxylamine and Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine). Doxinate is supposed to be safe to use during pregnancy. It falls under a category A pregnancy drug, which means it has little to no side effects that can cause significant damage to you or your baby.
Vomikind belongs to the antiemetics group of drugs, which is composed of Ondansetron, which is used for treating nausea as well as vomiting.
Use of Vomikind is not recommended in pregnant women. Occasionally taking Vomikind should be safe in pregnancy for vomiting, while Doxinate is the one the only one which is recommended.
Eat small and frequent meals. Drink more quantity of fluids. Avoid intake of spicy and oily foods.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
