Duchesnay is a pharmaceutical company based in Blainville, north of Montreal. It focuses on women's health and is known for Diclectin, a treatment for nausea and vomiting in pregnancy, often called morning sickness. Its work centres on stages of life that are sometimes overlooked in medicine.
Duchesnay's products are prescription medicines, so they are something to discuss with a doctor or pharmacist rather than buy on a whim.
