How Emedox works
Emedox is a combination of two medicines: Doxylamine and vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), which treats nausea and vomiting associated with pregnancy. Doxylamine 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
- Emedox helps treat nausea and vomiting in pregnant women.
- Take it on an empty stomach with a glass of water.
- Emedox may cause dizziness. Do not drive or do anything requiring concentration until you know how it affects you.
- Do not take Emedox with other sedating medications such as those for cough and cold as the combination could worsen dizziness leading to falls or other accidents.

Contraindication
Hypersensitivity
MAO inhibitors intensify and prolong doxylamine’s adverse effects (ie, anticholinergic, CNS)
Mode of Action
Doxylamine: Ethanolamine derivative antihistamine
Pyridoxine: Vitamin B6 analog
Doxylamine is an antihistamine that blocks Histamine (H1) receptor. It affects the vestibular system and decreases the stimulation of the vomiting center. Its mascarinic receptor inhibition may also play a role in antihistamine antiemetic activity.
Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) is a vitamin used to prevent nausea and vomiting due to its antiemetic properties.
Precaution
Coadministration with alcohol and other CNS depressants may cause additive sedation and is not recommended; combination may cause severe drowsiness leading to falls or accidents Somnolence due to anticholinergic effects is common; avoid activities requiring mental alertness Anticholinergic effects may exacerbate conditions such as asthma, increased intraocular pressure, narrow angle glaucoma, stenosing peptic ulcer, pyloroduodenal obstruction, and urinary bladder-neck obstruction Lactation: Do not breast feed; doxylamine molecular weight is low enough to distribute into human breast milk Excitement, irritability, and sedation reported in nursing infants presumably exposed to doxylamine through breast milk; infants with apnea or other respiratory syndromes may...
