Wikipedia
Doxylamine is a first-generation antihistamine, first reported in 1949. It can be used by itself as a short-term sedative and in combination with other drugs to provide night-time allergy and cold relief. Doxylamine is also used in combination with the analgesics paracetamol (acetaminophen) and codeine as an analgesic/calmative preparation, and is prescribed in combination with vitamin B ( pyridoxine) to prevent morning sickness in pregnant women. Its fetal safety is “A” in Briggs’ Reference Guide to Foetal and Neonatal Risk.
