How Avonex works
Avonex is a combination of two medicines: Meclizine and vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) which treat nausea and vomiting associated with pregnancy. Meclizine is an antihistamine which works by blocking the action of a chemical messenger (histamine), thereby controlling nausea, vomiting, and dizziness. Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) is a form of vitamin B which possesses anti-nausea properties.
Quick Tips

- Take it on an empty stomach with a glass of water.
- Avonex may cause dizziness. Do not drive or do anything requiring concentration until you know how it affects you.
- Do not take Avonex with other sedating medications such as those for cough and cold as the combination could worsen dizziness leading to falls or other accidents.
