Q: "Can I use the Relief Band for nausea from pregnancy morning sickness? I understand that a unit called the ReliefBand OB used to be sold for that purpose. Thanks, Debbie."
Answer: "At this time, the only
Relief Band that is sold over the counter is the one that is FDA cleared for motion sickness. Until Relief Band manufacture was halted for about a year (until Neurowave Medical purchased manufacturing rights, etc.), Safe Home Products sold both the Reliefband Explorer and the Reliefband OB. Both were FDA cleared, one for motion sickness and the other for morning sickness nausea. When production resumed, only the Reliefband Explorer was FDA cleared and manufactured.
The ReliefBand OB had explicit instructions such as to check with your physician if nausea was moderate to severe. Unfortunately, the OB unit is not currently available over the counter. The prescription ReliefBand unit is now available. We understand that unit is one notch stronger in nerve stimulation.
Although Safe Home Products is permitted to sell the Relief Band Explorer for motion sickness nausea, we are not allowed to advertise nor sell this unit for pregnancy morning sickness use. Please contact your physician to discuss your morning sickness symptoms and whether using a prescription ReliefBand is advisable.
Thanks for your question.
Sincerely, Barbara
