The doctor has provided me with Stemetil anti sickness tablets. The midwife told me they are perfectly safe to take but the leaflet says not safe during pregnancy! She said they just say this to 'cover themselves'. Has anyone taken this when pregnant and is it safe?

"Prochlorperazine (Buccastem,® Stemetil®) and metoclopramide (Maxolon®)
There is not much pregnancy safety information for prochlorperazine and metoclopramide, but the scientific information that is available so far does not show that either of these two medicines is harmful to a developing baby when used in pregnancy. "

Doctor will never prescribe you anything unsafe

Thank you, just being cautious but I thought it'd be fine!
