Detailed Answer:
Hello mam thanks for trusting health care magic
These are safe drugs routinely prescribed in pregnancy.
Doxylamine is to help in relieving nausea of pregnancy and gas no worth mentioning side effect.
Naturogest is a progesterone which will help in growth and development of baby and it can cause gastritis, mood swings and anorexia in some females.
Duphalac is to relieve constipation which is a common problem in pregnancy and can cause diarrhea if taken for long period of time.
Keep taking them as advised and can be taken till the end of 3rd month
This tired feeling is common in pregnancy and in case your hemoglobin is Normal nothing to worry.
Migraine headache increases in pregnancy so keep your meals scheduled properly and take tea and coffee as much as possible which will prevent headache and take as much rest as possible.
All the best.
