Question 6

is nauzene safe during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It's basically just sugar and aspartame (nutrasweet).  As long as you don't have phenyketonuria, you can take it.  I am not a fan of aspartame anytime, and i think it's especially important to avoid as many artificial chemicals during pregnancy as possible, so i wouldn't recommend nauzene. There are other nausea treatments that i'd use first (try ginger tea).
