Question 1

Does Diclectin work immediately?

Accepted Answer

Diclectin doesn’t provide instant relief. It usually takes about 4 to 6 hours to start working. That’s why doctors often recommend taking it regularly to keep nausea under control rather than waiting for symptoms.

Question 2

Can I just stop taking Diclectin?

Accepted Answer

You shouldn’t stop Diclectin suddenly. Always consult your doctor, who may gradually lower your dose to prevent nausea and vomiting from coming back quickly. Stopping on your own could make symptoms return abruptly.

Question 3

Can I take Diclectin with my prenatal vitamin?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Diclectin can generally be taken with prenatal vitamins, and no major interactions are known. Still, it’s always best to check with your healthcare provider before combining any medications or supplements during pregnancy.

Question 4

How many hours does Diclectin last?

Accepted Answer

Diclectin works best when taken regularly, usually 4 to 6 hours before nausea is expected, such as in the morning. Its effects last several hours, which is why it’s taken daily to stay effective.

Question 5

Can I take Diclectin my whole pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Diclectin is the only medication officially approved in Canada for nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. It’s considered safe for both mother and baby, and many women take it throughout their pregnancy.

Question 6

Can you buy Diclectin over the counter from Canada?

Accepted Answer

No, Diclectin is only available with a prescription in Canada. It’s not sold over the counter, so your doctor must prescribe it before you can order it safely from a licensed pharmacy.

Question 7

Can I pay for Diclectin with my insurance?

Accepted Answer

We don’t bill insurance directly, but we’ll provide a detailed medical expense report. You can use this to submit a claim to your insurance provider, who may reimburse you depending on your coverage.
