Doxylamine

Drug Details

Doxylamine succinate, commonly known as Unisom SleepTabs, is an over-the-counter medication designed to help individuals aged 12 and older who experience difficulty falling asleep. As an antihistamine, it works by blocking histamine, a natural chemical in the body, which leads to drowsiness and aids in sleep. It is recommended to take this medication orally once a day, approximately 30 minutes before bedtime. A common side effect is feeling sleepy the next day. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication to ensure it is safe and appropriate for you.
