Diclectin Information
It is thought to work by managing the levels of serotonin and acetylcholine in the body. These natural chemicals affect the brain and with proorp, management can potentially reduce nausea symptoms. It also contains Vitamin V which pregnant women may lack.
Diclectin is taken orally on an empty stomach with a glass of water. It may take longer to work if taken with meals but the efficacy will remain the same. It is often recommended to take this at night to reduce “morning sickness”. Additional doses may be taken if your symptoms persist throughout the day.
Your dose is determined by your condition and precious history of treatment. Your doctor will advise you how many tablets are safe to take in a given day. Talk to your doctor If you find that the recommended dose is not sufficient to manage your symptoms.
