HG medications

This is my second pregnancy and unlike my first I have HG this time round. Went to GP on Monday who prescribed liquid cyclizine - not tablets as I know I’ll struggle to take them. Pharmacy however have had delays getting it in as it needs to be made up and I’m wondering about other options?

I was on them and it made it worse. Xonvea is the only one that worked for me. It didn’t get rid of it, Im 38 weeks and still being sick but it’s made the pregnancy manageable

Xonvea was the absolute only thing that helped. I had multiple other medications and nothing stopped it like Xonvea. I will say that it can be hard to get though

I did varying combinations of cyclizine, prochlorperazine and metroclopromide plus injections, which all worked but none were liquid so I'm not sure what your options are for liquid medications x

ondansetron was the only thing that stopped my vomiting and i needed another to stem the nausea, which i had right up until the end. cyclizine, xonvea and promethazine were all about the same on that front for me. cyclizine seldom works on its own if you have HG in earnest so probably best to see what other options you have now anyway. you can get injections/drips at the hospital but i'm not sure about liquid forms and the hospital supply is usually only if you're admitted. sorry you're experiencing this and good luck x
