What is a Generic Drug?

A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.

The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.

Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

Description

Bonjesta is a medication used to help pregnant women who experience nausea and vomiting, commonly known as morning sickness. It combines two ingredients: Doxylamine, which is an antihistamine that helps reduce these symptoms, and Pyridoxine, which is a form of vitamin B6. Together, they work to ease the discomfort that some women feel when other treatments don’t work.

Directions

It's important to follow the dosing instructions carefully to ensure the medicine works well and is safe. Usually, you start with one extended-release tablet taken by mouth at bedtime on the first day. If your symptoms don't improve by the second day, you can take another tablet the next morning, following a dosage of one tablet twice daily. However, don't take more than the recommended dose without talking to your doctor. Make sure to swallow the tablets whole and do not crush or chew them, as this can affect how the medicine works.

Ingredients

Doxylamine and Pyridoxine are the active ingredients in Bonjesta.

Contraindications

Avoid taking or using this medication if any of the following apply:

  • Known hypersensitivity to Bonjesta ingredients
  • Allergy to other ethanolamine derivative antihistamines
  • The use of monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors at the same time

Cautions

  • Prior to starting treatment with Bonjesta, ensure you provide your healthcare provider with the following information:
    • Existing health conditions
    • Known allergies
    • A list of all the medications you are currently taking
    • Your pregnancy or breastfeeding status
  • Bonjesta may cause significant drowsiness. Avoid driving, operating heavy machinery, or engaging in activities that need full mental focus until your healthcare provider clears you.
  • Mixing Bonjesta with alcohol or other central nervous system depressants can cause extreme drowsiness, increasing the risk of falls or accidents.
  • If you have conditions like glaucoma, peptic ulcers, stomach or bladder blockages, use Bonjesta with caution due to its anticholinergic effects.
  • Bonjesta has been linked to false positives in urine screenings for methadone, opiates, and PCP. Be mindful if you are undergoing drug tests.

Side Effects

Bonjesta side effects include drowsiness, which may be severe in some cases. While taking this medication, avoid driving, operating machinery, or performing tasks that require full attention unless advised otherwise by your healthcare provider.

Severe drowsiness from Bonjesta can increase the risk of falls or accidents, especially if combined with alcohol or other central nervous system depressants. Additionally, Bonjesta may cause false positive results on urine drug screenings for substances like methadone, opiates, or PCP. If you notice extreme drowsiness or any unusual symptoms, contact your healthcare provider immediately. Always inform your doctor if you're taking Bonjesta before any drug tests.
