The correct answer is false. Intravenous pyridoxine, also known as vitamin B6, is often used in combination with doxylamine as an initial treatment for nausea and vomiting in pregnancy; however, it is not considered a first-line medication for the management of hyperemesis gravidarum. Instead, the first-line treatments for hyperemesis gravidarum typically include antiemetic medications, such as ondansetron or promethazine, and rehydration when needed.
