My wife is in her 10th week of pregnancy and has been prescribed ONDEM MD 4 to help with nausea and vomiting. The instructions are to take it twice a day, but we're a bit worried if it's safe to use on a daily basis. Also, one evening she unintentionally took a double dose. Should we be concerned about any side effects from that? Really appreciate any insights you can share.

Ondem MD 4, containing ondansetron, is generally considered safe for pregnant women to manage nausea and vomiting, but should be used under medical supervision; taking a double dose by mistake may cause side effects like headaches, dizziness, or constipation, but these are usually mild and temporary
