Reglan Safe During Early Pregnancy

Pregnancy Morning Sickness

Reglan (metoclopramide) has been shown to be safe to use during early pregnancy by a large Israeli study. This is good news for anyone who has ever had severe morning sickness, one of the early signs of pregnancy.

Morning sickness can be a problem during pregnancy for many women. When the simple remedies (avoiding odors that trigger the nausea, avoiding greasy food, eating small meal every few hours, saltines, Vitamin B6, ginger, etc), then the woman and her physician may turn to anti-nausea drugs. Safety of any drugs used during pregnancy is always a concern.

The nausea experienced by upwards of 85 percent of pregnant women is not a symptom of any irregularity, and those who don’t experience it don’t show any increased incidence of abnormalities, either.
