Diclegis (doxylamine/pyridoxine 10 mg/10 mg) is a prescription medication and is not available over the counter. If you're experiencing morning sickness severe enough to need medication, getting to the right prescriber quickly is important. Here's what you need to know about who can prescribe Diclegis and how to access them in 2026.
Is Diclegis a Controlled Substance?
No. Diclegis is not a federally scheduled controlled substance. It can be prescribed by any licensed prescriber with prescribing authority — no DEA registration is required beyond standard prescriber licensing. Refills are permitted (though NVP typically resolves after the first trimester, so prescriptions are usually written for a limited supply).

Who Can Prescribe Diclegis?
The following healthcare providers can prescribe Diclegis:
OB/GYN (Obstetrician-Gynecologist): Your primary pregnancy care specialist is the most common prescriber of Diclegis. They are familiar with ACOG guidelines recommending it as first-line NVP pharmacotherapy.
Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM): Midwives with prescribing authority can prescribe Diclegis and are a common source of NVP treatment.
Family practice physician or internal medicine physician: Your primary care doctor can prescribe Diclegis, particularly during early pregnancy before your first OB appointment.
Nurse practitioner (NP) or physician assistant (PA): Advanced practice providers with prescribing authority can prescribe Diclegis in most states.
Emergency medicine physicians: In urgent care or ER settings, physicians may prescribe Diclegis or its alternatives for immediate NVP relief.
How to Find an OB/GYN Near You
Call your insurance company's member services line and ask for OB/GYNs in your network accepting new patients.
Use your insurer's online provider directory (available on their website or app) and filter by specialty: Obstetrics & Gynecology.
Search Google for 'OB/GYN near me accepting new patients' or use Zocdoc to book online.
Ask your primary care doctor for a referral to an OB/GYN — they often know which colleagues have open slots.
Can I Get Diclegis Through Telehealth?
Yes. Because Diclegis is not a controlled substance, it can be prescribed via telehealth without an in-person visit in most states. Several women's health telehealth platforms specialize in pregnancy care and can connect you with an NP, PA, or OB/GYN for a same-day or next-day appointment. Platforms that cover pregnancy medications include:
Nurx — Offers telehealth consultations for pregnancy-related conditions
Maven Clinic — Employer-sponsored women's health platform with OB/GYN access
Teladoc Health / MDLive — General telehealth platforms that include physicians who can prescribe for early pregnancy symptoms
What to Tell Your Doctor at Your Appointment
To get the most from your appointment, be prepared to describe:
How many weeks pregnant you are
When the nausea/vomiting started and how severe it is (time of day, frequency, effect on eating)
What dietary changes or OTC remedies you've already tried
Any other medications you take (for interaction screening)
Any history of sensitivity to antihistamines or sedating medications
The Bottom Line
Getting a Diclegis prescription is accessible — any licensed provider can prescribe it, and telehealth makes same-day consultations possible. Once you have your prescription, see our guide on how to find Diclegis in stock near you and what Diclegis is and how to take it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Any licensed prescriber can prescribe Diclegis, including your primary care physician, family doctor, NP, or PA. You do not need a specialist. However, if your morning sickness is severe, an OB/GYN is the most appropriate provider for ongoing pregnancy care.
Yes. Because Diclegis is not a controlled substance, it can be prescribed via telehealth in most states without an in-person visit. Platforms like Nurx, Maven Clinic, and Teladoc can connect you with a provider who can assess your symptoms and send a prescription to your pharmacy.
Yes. Diclegis has FDA Pregnancy Category A status, meaning controlled studies have not shown an increased risk to the fetus. It is the only FDA-approved medication for morning sickness and is considered first-line pharmacotherapy by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG).
Diclegis is typically prescribed for nausea and vomiting that occurs during the first trimester (weeks 6–14), when NVP is most common. Some women need it into the second trimester. Your provider will reassess the need for Diclegis as your pregnancy progresses, since NVP usually resolves after the first trimester.
