Some women do not seek treatment for morning sickness because of concerns about
treatment safety. Yet, once symptoms progress, treatment can become more difficult.
Mild cases may be resolved with lifestyle and dietary changes, and safe and effective
treatments are available for more severe cases.
The dosing includes the following recommendations: Never exceed 3 B-natal in any
24-hour period. Keep out of reach of children. This is well within the recommended
dosing guidance as per Health Canada.
Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL): The highest average daily nutrient intake
level that is likely to pose no risk of adverse health effects to almost all individuals
in the general population. As intake increases above the UL, the potential risk
of adverse effects may increase (IOM 2006).
