AB Nausea  and  vomiting  of  pregnancy  (NVP)  is  considered  a  “normal”  part  of  pregnancy,  with  every  woman  experiencing  a  myriad  of  symptoms  to  varying  degrees  for  a  period  of  time  starting  in  early  pregnancy.  In  the  more  severe  cases,  hyperemesis  gravidarum  (HG)  can  develop,  often  requiring  a  prolonged  hospital  admission  with  pharmacotherapeutic  management.  As  a  result,  early  recognition  and  implementation  of  a  management  strategy  is  crucial.  These  strategies  consist  of  more  conservative  measures  like  dietary  and  lifestyle  modifications,  to  oral  pharmacotherapy  in  an  outpatient  setting  or  intravenous  pharmacotherapy  in  the  inpatient  setting.  Once  a  treatment  plan  is  implemented,  counseling  regarding  adherence  is  essential  in  order  to  prevent  progression  or  relapse  of  symptoms.
