GFEN-XL 20 (Baclofen XL 20 Mg)

GFEN-XL 20 Tablet is a combination medicine commonly prescribed to manage nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. It helps relieve the feeling of sickness that often affects pregnant women, while also supporting nutritional needs.

This medicine should be taken strictly as directed by a healthcare provider. It can be taken with or without food, but it's important to take it at the same time each day for optimal results. Do not exceed the recommended dose, as that may lead to undesirable effects. In case you forget a dose, take it when you remember. However, if it’s close to your next scheduled dose, skip the missed one. Do not stop the treatment abruptly, as doing so can reduce its effectiveness.

Some commonly reported side effects of GFEN-XL 20 Tablet include dry mouth, drowsiness, and dizziness. Staying hydrated can help reduce discomfort from these effects. If they worsen or persist, consult your doctor. Seek immediate medical help in case of any signs of an allergic reaction such as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing.

Before beginning this medication, inform your doctor of any existing health conditions or other medicines you may be taking. Alcohol should be avoided, as it may worsen dizziness and can pose a risk to the developing baby. Though the medicine generally doesn’t impair your ability to drive, it’s best to avoid driving if you feel drowsy. Adequate rest and a healthy diet can support faster recovery. Simple home remedies like lemon water or lightly salted salads may also help relieve nausea during pregnancy. Make sure to attend regular prenatal check-ups and follow your doctor’s advice regarding lab tests and nutrition.
 

Managing nausea and vomiting during pregnancy

 

GFEN-XL 20 Tablet helps reduce nausea and vomiting linked to hormonal changes during pregnancy. It works by blocking certain signals in the brain that trigger nausea. The formulation includes a vitamin supplement that not only helps ease nausea but also supports the baby’s immune system and brain development. Its dual benefit makes it a safe and reliable option for pregnant women dealing with morning sickness or persistent queasiness.

 

Most side effects are temporary and do not need medical attention unless they persist or worsen:

Dry mouth
Drowsiness
Lightheadedness
Stay hydrated and rest well to minimize discomfort. Always consult your doctor if you have any concerns.

 

Take the medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not chew, crush, or break it. It may be taken with or without food, but for best results, stick to a consistent schedule.

 

GFEN-XL 20 Tablet combines two ingredients: Doxylamine, an antihistamine, and Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6). Doxylamine blocks the effect of histamine, a substance in the body that causes nausea and vomiting. Pyridoxine supports metabolic processes and has anti-nausea effects, helping to further reduce symptoms. Together, they offer effective relief from pregnancy-related morning sickness.
