About Navina JR Tablet

Navina JR Tablet belongs to the class of medications called “anti-emetics” primarily used to treat nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. It helps treat morning sickness (nauseous feeling during the first trimester) in pregnant women. Nausea is an uneasy feeling in which a person feels an urge to vomit, while vomiting is the body's natural response to discharge the stomach content forcefully.

Navina JR Tablet is a combination of two drugs, namely: Doxylamine succinate and Pyridoxal-5-phosphate (vitamin B6). Doxylamine succinate belongs to the class of antihistamines that work by blocking the natural chemical (histamine) in the body, thereby preventing nausea and vomiting. Pyridoxine/vitamin B6 deficiency may cause nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. Pyridoxal-5-phosphate works by increasing the level of vitamin B6 in the body and thus treating nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.

You are advised to take Navina JR Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it, depending on your medical condition. Sometimes, you may experience certain common side effects, such as dizziness, stomach pain, constipation, and dry mouth. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Consult your doctor before taking Navina JR Tablet if you are pregnant, planning for pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

Navina JR Tablet should not be given to anyone below 18 years of age as the safety and efficacy have not been established.
