Hi,

I am of the opinion that hyperemesis (severe vomiting) during the first trimester of pregnancy is common. Kindly consult an obstetrician regarding emeset (ondansetron) as it is usually not given during early pregnancy.

Usually, vitamin B6 supplements (pyridoxine) are given along with tablet doxylamine (doxinate which your sister is already taking). So, probably if pyridoxine is added with doxinate it might help her better.

Also, early morning ask her to have a bread toast or ginger. It helps in morning sickness. She can take water in between meals instead of drinking large amounts of water after meals. Also, let her take small frequent meals.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Riyanka Chail, General & Family Physician
