Committee Recommendations (1)

01 May 24 - Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care System Area Prescribing Committee (APC)

The Surrey Heartlands APC approved doxylamine with pyridoxine for use in nausea and vomiting in pregnancy, acknowledging that the drug is licensed for this indication.

However, it was agreed that it should only be considered after a trial of a more established drug (off-label cyclizine, promethazine, prochlorperazine or chlorpromazine).

The Surrey Heartlands APC agreed a traffic light status and place in therapy for drugs used to treat nausea and vomiting in pregnancy.
