Proven results

Studies in pregnant women have shown that the combination of ingredients in Bonjesta® effectively manages morning sickness when diet and lifestyle changes fail to adequately control symptoms.*

  • Based on the Pregnancy-Unique Quantification of Emesis (PUQE) Score, which evaluates the overall severity of morning sickness: hours of nausea, instances of vomiting and retching over a 24-hour period.

What is morning sickness?

Morning sickness is a misnomer

Morning sickness is also known as “nausea and vomiting of pregnancy” and its symptoms may last well beyond the morning.

The symptoms of morning sickness can range from mild to severe nausea, gagging, retching and vomiting. You can use the PUQE Score to help you and your healthcare provider assess your morning sickness symptoms. This will help you get your symptoms under control so you can get back to being you.

Take the PUQE test

When changing your diet and lifestyle does not relieve your symptoms, it may be time to ask your healthcare provider about Bonjesta®.

What are the potential concerns about over-the-counter (OTC) products?

You may be tempted to try products available at your local pharmacy, but keep in mind that not all medications are safe to take during pregnancy.

OTC products that are often used to treat morning sickness:

  • Have not been studied, proven safe and effective or approved by the FDA for use during pregnancy
  • Are not formulated, indicated or approved by the FDA for the treatment of morning sickness
  • Do not always contain the correct active ingredient
  • Do not contain the correct dosage, so you’ll have to cut the pills yourself
  • Are not formulated to provide both immediate and long-lasting relief
  • May contain ingredients that are unsafe for your baby
