Medication of the 1980s query

[yadreamin]

Hi All
l know we have a couple of medicine people on the good ship SS and l would like some assistance in finding out the different morning sickness medications that were used in the 1980s. This is probably best taken off the forum so please pm me if you can help.
I have done the usual search and only seem to come up with Bendectin. Thats not the one l need info on.
Hope some one can help
cheers

Are you pregnant?

Boods

Bendectin was called Debendox in Australia.

Were you perhaps thinking this was another drug and could not remember it?

That and Thalidomide (50's and 60's) are the only two controversial drugs that I can think of that were given for pregnancy morning sickness.

There were many drugs used and in use now to help nausea, with some used primarily for other reasons (happen to help in nausea as well).

You may want to google anti nausea drugs.
