Sleep Tablet (Doxylamine) Oral

In Depth

This drug may make you dizzy or drowsy or cause blurred vision. Do not drive, use machinery, or do any activity that requires alertness or clear vision until you are sure you can perform such activities safely. Limit the use of alcohol and certain other medications that cause drowsiness. (See also Drug Interactions.)

To minimize dizziness and lightheadedness, get up slowly when rising from a sitting or lying position.

Liquid products may contain sugar. Caution is advised if you have diabetes. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about using this product safely.

The elderly may be more sensitive to the effects of this drug, especially dizziness, drowsiness, and low blood pressure.

Children may be more sensitive to the effects of antihistamines. In young children, this medication may cause agitation/excitement instead of drowsiness.

Tell your doctor if you are pregnant before using doxylamine. It should not be used during the last 3 months of pregnancy since antihistamines may increase the risk of serious side effects in a newborn baby (e.g., seizures). Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.

Based on information from related drugs, this medication may pass into breast milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
