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.

I'm dealing with PCOS, and I was given an HCG shot of 10,000 UI along with Duphaston. My pregnancy test came back negative, and now my doctor has prescribed Ovral G for 20 days starting from the second day of my period. I'm wondering why I've been given Ovral G, and why it's important to take it at the same time every day. Could you help me understand this better?
