Background: Hyperemesis gravidarum is one of the most problematic events in the first trimester of pregnancy which is observed in 80% cases of pregnancy. This study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of Promethazin and vitamin B6 in improving the symptoms of pregnancy hyperemesis.
Materials and Methods: This experimental study was carried out on 45 patients who had been hospitalized for improving their hyperemesis. They were divided into two groups who were matched based on their pregnancy condition: one group received 50 mg interamuscular promethazin daily and the other group received 100g interamuscular vitamin B6 daily. Then, the results were analyzed statistically by ?2 test.
Results: The number of the responses to treatment with promethazin was statistically higher than that of the patients who received vitamin B6 (80% VS. 40% P < 0.01).
Conclusion: Promethazin is more effective than vitamin B6 in the treatment of hyperemesis gravidarum. More extensive studies in this regard are recommended.
