  • Title: [PR-EMPTIVE TREATMENT FOR HYPEREMESIS GRAVIDARUM].
    Author: Cohen R, Koren G.
    Journal: Harefuah; 2018 Oct; 157(10):638-639. PubMed ID: 30343540.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) affects around 1% of pregnant women. The experience is traumatic, and many women hesitate to start a subsequent pregnancy in view of the tendency of HG to re-occur. OBJECTIVES: A 25 year old woman who experienced HG in her previous pregnancy was very afraid to start a second pregnancy, as she considered the termination of the first, traumatic pregnancy. She was advised to use pre- emptive antiemetic therapy with an anti emetic drug before any symptom appeared. The pregnancy passed with only mild nausea and vomiting. DISCUSSION: Several controlled randomized studies have shown the effectiveness of pre emptive therapy in preventing a repeat of HG symptoms.
