Pharmaceutical compositions for simultaneous transdermal delivery of Doxylamine and Pyridoxine comprising Doxylamine or its salts, Pyridoxine or its salts or its active metabolites and a vehicle system wherein pharmaceutical compositions are liquid formulations, semisolid formulations and polymer matrices. Further pharmaceutical compositions can be incorporated into transdermal delivery systems or transdermal patches. The invention provides a method for treatment of nausea and vomiting in general, and for pregnant women in particular by continuous and simultaneous transdermal delivery of Doxylamine and Pyridoxine. This is to be accomplished through topical application of pharmaceutical compositions or by application of a transdermal delivery system or transdermal patch to the surface of the skin wherein the duration of application is once in a day, once every two days, once every three days, once every four days, once every five days, once every six days, or once in a week. |
