    AbstractThe nausea and vomiting that often accompany early pregnancy may be ameliorated if the patient eats small portions of food at frequent intervals, increases the amount of carbohydrates and decreases the amount of fat, and avoids bothersome food odors. When these strategies fail, antiemetic drugs such as pyridoxine and phosphorated carbohydrate solution may help, as well as doxylamine, promethazine or trimethobenzamide. When drugs are considered for use in pregnant patients, the safety of the patient and the fetus must always come first.
