>From Len2976@aol.com Tue Jun 19 06:50:16 2007 For nausea in pregnancy, I suggest trying a combination of Vit. B-6 and Unisom (which is the old Bendictin) first. Next, we usually prescribe phenergan. For those patients that phenergan doesn't help or it makes too sleepy, we will suggest using zofran during the day and phenergan in the evening. Zofran is very expensive (up to $1000. per month) and many patients still have to pay ($200-$300) for what their insurance doesn't cover so I will suggest they try to take it only twice daily. Medicaid in Florida will only allow 6 tablets of Zofran a month without an override--even with it, the maximum is 60.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
