A member asked:

10weeks preg.last prescribed metoclopramide pills didnt help with nausea & vomitting.now prescribed with ondansetron pills.can this help better?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: I think promethazine, ondansetron, and prochlorperazine are the most effective medications for nausea and vomiting of pregnancy--in that order--assuming no other medical complications.
