What Are The Side Effects Of Famotin 20mg During Pregnancy?
Hi, my wife is 27yrs old at 18weeks of pregnancy. Recently she started to feel like she is back in the first trimester (on the mild side), feeling nausea and vomiting about once a week. Her stomach feels very painful overall, suspecting it is gastritis. Is this common? she has been taking a gastritis medicine about once a week so far. (famotin 20mg) Will there be any side effects on the baby?

Hi,
Gastritis is common in pregnancy, because iron tablets can precipitate gastritis, so don't worry about this. you can take ondansatron oral dispersing tablet to get rid off nausea and vomiting. Dont lie down immediately after taking food and believe me these symptoms will go away very soon. sleep in left lateral position and take enough rest.
This will surely help you and in future you can ask any questions to me directly anytime
